In alignment with the objectives of the Weight Management Year: A National Plan for Healthier Lives and to promote a healthier lifestyle, participants at CSBT Branch Annual Work Meetings held in Nanjing and Xi'an, engaged in physical activities, which stimulated health awareness among attendees.

During the meeting breaks, attendees participated in physical exercises and stretching activities, accompanied by music promoting voluntary blood donation and guided by the instructional demonstration video. The on-site atmosphere was exuberant, vividly showcasing the essence of enjoyable fitness. Many participants observed that exercising during the breaks of intensive meetings not only alleviated fatigue from prolonged sitting, but also enhanced both work efficiency and health consciousness. This initiative received widespread recognition, and participants expressed intent to disseminate the demonstration video within their respective institutions for organizational adoption. 

This demonstration video was developed by the Shanghai Blood Center and was originally designed as an inter-session physical activity for the Education Course for Leadership of Blood Services since 2018. It features a well-structured design, moderate intensity, and beginner-friendly approach, effectively engaging multiple body regions. With the approval of Shanghai Blood Center, CSBT has recommended the video to its member institutions. Furthermore, CSBT intends to continuously incorporate fitness exercise sessions into future conferences, with the objective of promoting overall well-being and facilitating physical and mental relaxation among participants.
