"Maintaining health is the main task of the fitness industry. During the pandemic, the industry's focus has always been on supporting people to continue to exercise safely, even though clubs have closed. At the time, the focus was on developing strict safety measures to reduce the risk of illness and allow fitness clubs to resume work. Despite these efforts, the fitness industry has been misunderstood by the media and sometimes by public officials.

Health is of the utmost importance to the health and fitness industry. Throughout the pandemic, the focus of the industry has been to provide people with ways to safely be active while clubs were shut down. Then, the focus shifted to the institution of stringent safeguards to minimize risk to reopen and stay open. Yet despite these efforts, the media and sometimes public officials have incorrectly labeled the industry as unsafe.

Such statements are false and misleading and create serious problems for the fitness industry.

The debate about what venues and activities are the least likely to offer COVID-19 exposure, and which ones provide the most risk, has been a hot topic since early spring.IHRSA and MXM just released a simple, yet eye-opening, study that shows gyms don’t appear to be contributing to the spread of COVID-19. This study goes in line several other studies that have been conducted since the outbreak of COVID-19, most recently the study conducted by UK trade body, ukactive, which found an estimated 0.020 positive cases per 10,000 gym visits.

Roberts Sallis, M.D., saka: “Lai arī kas notiktu, ir jāļauj cilvēkiem vingrot un būt fiziski aktīviem, mums tas ir jādara, tā ir būtiska dzīves sastāvdaļa.”Veselības saglabāšana ir galvenais fitnesa nozares uzdevums. Pandēmijas laikā nozares uzmanības centrā visu laiku ir bijis sniegt cilvēkiem atbalstu turpināt droši nodarboties ar fiziskajām aktivitātēm, kaut arī klubi bija slēgti. Tajā laikā galvenā uzmanība tika pievērsta stingru drošības pasākumu izstrādei, lai mazinātu saslimstības risku un ļautu fitnesa klubiem atkal turpināt darbu. Neskatoties uz šiem centieniem, plašsaziņas ......

Latvijas Veselības un Fitnesa asociācija norāda, ka Ministru kabinetā apstiprinātais un Veselības ministrijas virzītais “luksofora” princips nozīmē lēnu nāvi nozarei, jo visdrīzāk 100 saslimušo rādītājs uz 100 tūkstošiem iedzīvotāju tiks sasniegts tikai rudenī, it īpaši ņemot vērā šī brīža vakcinēšanās tempus. Asociācija aicinās valdību pārskatīt šo piesardzības pasākumu mazināšanas shēmu un vadīties pēc Igaunijas un citu valstu pieredzes, lemjot par sporta nozares likteni.“Mēs redzam, ka Latvijā saslimstība ar Covid-19 mazinās no nedēļas uz nedēļu, salīdzinot ar pērnā gada ......

Mēs, Latvijas Veselības un fitnesa asociācija, šobrīd apvienojam ap 70% no Latvijas sporta klubiem kopā veidojot 25 miljonus lielu gada apgrozījumu, no kura gadā 5 miljoni tiek nomaksāti nodokļos (pirms ierobežojumiem) un gada laikā apkalpojam apmēram 150 tūkstošus cilvēku.Mūsu viedoklis ir, ka iespējai atvērties tikai vakcinētajiem, ar COVID-19 izslimušajiem un testētiem klientiem nav ekonomiska pamatojuma, tas drīzāk var raisīt nozares bankrotu, tādēļ LVFA biedri kopsapulcē pieņēma lēmumu nevērties vaļā pie šāda nosacījuma. (Izņēmums ir viens pašvaldības uzņēmums un divas ļoti ......

Bet mūsu biedru prakse pierāda to, ka sporta klubos atgriežas vairākums to biedru, kas ir vakcinējušies un pārslimojuši vīrusu, testus par maksu neviens nepērk un neizmanto.Ir ieviesti dažādi atvieglojumi personām, kas ir vakcinējušās pret Covid – 19, vai pēdējā pusgada laikā atveseļojušās no Covid – 19, un tā ir tiesa, bet vēršam ......
