New York, Nov. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Wireless Health and Fitness Devices Industry" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05205346/?utm_source=GNW 2 million units by the year 2027, trailing a post COVID-19 CAGR of 12.1% over the analysis period 2020 through 2027. In times of COVID-19, significant focus is being shed on health and fitness. Exercise is one of the indispensable components of the holistic approach to healthy and quality living. Physical activity combined with a well-balanced diet is a perfect recipe for stimulating and strengthening the immune system that safeguards the host from diseases and infections. The pandemic is profoundly influencing the everyday life of consumers around the world. Social, financial, physical, emotional and environmental issues are topping the priority list for consumers. Worries related to finances, childcare, elderly parents, job security, disruption to routine life are all triggers to stress in the current pandemic scenario. Given that stress can weaken the immune system and compromise overall health and well-being, consumers are beginning to spend additional time, money, and resources on lifestyle changes, fitness routines, and food habits to deal with the pandemic. Exercise holds a profound effect on functioning of the immune system and improves immune response to vaccination, supports immune markers linked with various medical conditions, and reduces low-grade inflammation.

The rapidly increasing cases of COVID-19 globally have brought exercise in the spotlight owing to its beneficial role in improving immune health. Stress and inactivity inhibit the ability of T-cells to grow in numbers in response to the infectious agent. In addition, lymphocytes, a component of the immune system, are unable to identify and kill cells infected with pathogens like virus or that have turned cancerous. Every bout of physical exercise immediately unleashes billions of human immune cells, mainly those associated with identification and destruction of virus-infected cells. These mobilized cells move into the blood stream and eventually trafficked to secondary tissues and lymphoid organs, especially the gut and lungs that require enhanced immune defense, like in case of COVID-19. Exercise may also alleviate the risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARSD), a major complication and primary cause of mortalities related to COVID-19. Against this backdrop, consumers are increasingly opting for wearable wireless sports, fitness and wellness devices with the intention of keeping themselves healthy and safe. Fitness wearables are among the most prevalent technology aids that are helping users to keep track of various aspects of their lifestyles and fitness regimens. Driven by the Quantified Self trend, wearable devices for sports and fitness continue to gain the attention of consumers and enthusiasts alike as wearable fitness devices help users in collecting and measuring data based on the users physical condition and performance. Wearers are increasingly using these devices for tracking their weight, step count, heart rate, calories burned, balance, breathing rate, explosive strength and the condition of their vital organs, as well as also for setting personal fitness goals.

The traditional patient-doctor model is currently undergoing significant changes under the influence of medical wearables. Wearable devices facilitate remote delivery of care through timely intervention by healthcare professionals via telemedicine. With an aging population and a rise in chronic diseases, the need for newer models for healthcare delivery is being felt more than ever. Telemedicine in combination with technologies like wearables and AI can help bridge the gap, make healthcare more accessible, provide timely interventions and help keep patients out of the hospital while ensuring the quality of healthcare delivery. The use of telemedicine can save time, reduce costs, and improve care coordination. When fitness devices integrate with EHRs, providers will have greater options to remotely monitor their patients. By leveraging big data analytics, payers and providers will be able to communicate and administer care much more proactively, leading to fewer hospital admissions. Healthcare systems in high-income countries strive to care for patients with chronic conditions within overburdened practices and consultations, restricted to short visits. Using telemedicine for hosting follow-up appointments and treating patients remotely is a resource-efficient strategy. Healthcare practitioners can cater to a greater number of patients while bringing down the costs associated with healthcare delivery. The COVID-19 outbreak placed unprecedented demands on healthcare system in various countries. The healthcare industry is at the forefront battling the coronavirus pandemic with challenges of increasing demand on health facilities and health care workers and supply chain disruptions. The seemingly accelerating pace at which the novel coronavirus spreads around the world has increased diversion of resources to coronavirus treatment and widespread disruption to routine healthcare services across the globe. Hospitals have also been urged to postpone or limit elective surgeries and other non-necessary treatments, which would keep beds free for COVID-19 infected patients. This in turn has led to hospitals and clinics shutting down their outpatient resources, which poses a major challenge in delivering non-urgent consultations. Against this backdrop, telemedicine is witnessing increased acceptance, particularly in monitoring chronic conditions or postoperative patients. Wearable technology can enable seamless remote patient monitoring through telemedicine during COVID-19.

Stephen Virgilio emerges from the basement of his East Williston home looking like a weekend warrior on a shopping spree. Cradled in his arms are golf clubs, pickleball rackets, a Nerf football, a kickball, pushup handles and other equipment.

"Hi!" he says brightly to his 10-year-old niece, Faith Virgilio, who comes bounding into the backyard. "Ready to have some fun?"

Faith smiles and shakes her head up and down in vigorous assent as Uncle Steve arrays the various sporting gear on the grass.

They begin loosening up by tossing the football back and forth. Virgilio gently gives his niece, who lives in Sea Cliff, pointers. First, he shows her how to use her legs to get more oomph in her passes. "Step and throw," he says, fluidly demonstrating the process. Then he shows her the proper grip. "Thumb to the side, then reach for the sky," he says, mimicking the overhead arc of a well-thrown forward pass. "Want to try?"

"Yes!"

Faith eagerly takes the ball and, following her uncle's tips, uncorks a perfect spiral.

By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy.

"Good!" exclaims Virgilio who, at age 70 (a milestone he celebrated on Nov. 8) is old enough to be her grandfather. With the death of his younger brother, Nick Faith's dad in March 2019, he has been spending more time with his niece.

"We're going to take an active role in her life," he said.

"Active" would be the operative word here.

Virgilio has made physical activity for children the study and teaching of it, the advocacy for more of it his life's work. He has a doctorate in physical education and has taught at Adelphi University since 1990.

Dr. Virgilio as he's known to his students has published more than 75 papers during his academic career and conducted more than 150 presentations and workshops, mostly for K-12 physical education teachers. He is also the co-author of the Heart Smart Program, a cardiovascular health intervention program that was used in hundreds of schools around the country in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as lead author of the Society for Health and Physical Educators' Active Start guidelines for young children, widely used by preschools around the nation. He is also author of several textbooks used by physical education teachers internationally.

Virgilio is teaching his last class on Dec. 18, with his retirement taking effect in August 2021. And while he may be giving up teaching graduate students, he said he isn't done teaching children how to be active.

As he shows with Faith, who has now moved on from throwing a football to doing pushups under his tutelage "don't arch your back very good!" he says encouragingly. Faith's eager participation in Uncle Steve's backyard play session reminds us that this is generally not a hard sell to kids even a generation growing up in front of screens.

"It's indigenous in their makeup that children want to be active and play," he said. "That's how they express themselves. If that behavior is cemented in an early age, then as they get older, it's natural for them to think about being physically active."

"We've had more than a few conversations over the years about how to get young people to be active," said Virgilio's longtime colleague Chuck Corbin, professor emeritus at Arizona State University and a nationally recognized children's fitness expert.

And, he emphasized, it's not the oft-derided idea of participation trophies for all, or the elimination of competitive sports in school curriculum that they argue for. "There's a place for competitive sports, and neither Steve and I would suggest they're not important," Corbin said. "But physical education is not a competitive sport; it's an educational tool, with the overarching goal of getting children active and knowing how be active."

What may give Virgilio added perspective in the national debate over the proper balance between competitive sports and participatory physical activities for youngsters is the fact that he himself was an outstanding athlete.

Born in Brooklyn, Virgilio moved with his family to New Hyde Park at the age of 10. Even in elementary school, he recalled, "I was always exercising, always running, doing pushups." He played basketball and baseball at Herricks High School and was a starter on the school's 1967-68 varsity basketball team that compiled a 16-3 record; one of the best teams in the school's history, the 67-68 record is memorialized on his basement wall in a faded poster of the team's schedule, with the mostly winning scores handwritten.

Even as he was sinking free throws for the Herricks Highlanders, though, Virgilio had a career in mind. "I thought what a wonderful thing it would be to coach," he said, "to work with kids and help develop them."

To that end, he pursued a career in physical education, first at University of Tampa as an undergraduate, then Adelphi for his masters and, finally, at Florida State University for his doctorate. After an 11-year stint at University of New Orleans, he was hired at Adelphi in 1990 as a professor of physical education, in the Department of Health and Sports Sciences. He became head of the graduate program in 2002, helping guide the education and molding the philosophy of a generation or two of PE teachers.

"Steve was a great professor," recalled one of those students, Rory Sherman, who earned his master's in physical education at Adelphi in 2003. "He was always there to listen and provide all his knowledge," adds Sherman, now a physical education teacher at Walt Whitman High School who also teaches in the Adelphi program. "He's a very smart individual."

And a very proud father and grandfather: While dad was a good varsity athlete, his sons were even better. Stephen Jr., now 40, was a star baseball player at the Wheatley School who went on to pitch at Providence College. Joe, 36, was All-County in both basketball and baseball at Wheatley, then played basketball at Hobart College, where he was team captain. Their father is now excited to be able to work or should we say play? with their children: Virgilio and his wife, Irene, have six grandchildren, ages 2 months to 8 years as well as Faith, who Irene said, "is like our grandchild."

"It's a beautiful thing," said Faith's mom, Cathy, about their relationship as she watches her daughter and Uncle Steve, who have now moved on to volleying with pickleball rackets.

Yet, even Virgilio who stays in shape with 3.5-mile power-walks six days a week along with calisthenics acknowledges that keeping up with a 10-year-old is challenging.

"This is fun!" cries Faith, as Virgilio races to his left to return a shot.

"Uncle Steve is getting a workout here, too," he says, feigning exhaustion.

But while he's retiring from teaching, Virgilio hopes to keep disseminating his ideas to new audiences. After all, could someone who has devoted his career to the study of activity really stay inactive for long?

"I could see myself giving workshops for youth sports coaches," he says. "Some of them need to be reminded of the real reason for team sports."

The national guidelines developed by Adelphi University Professor Stephen Virgilio recommend that young children should accumulate at least 60 minutes each of structured and unstructured physical activity per day.

Can grandparents help achieve these goals? Yes, said Virgilio, himself the grandfather of six. He offers these suggestions for his peers on how to help keep grandkids active:

Longtime PE prof isn't giving up on fitness in retirement - Newsday

Working out from home can be very difficult for some people. When you go to the gym or other fitness classes, you have other people who unknowingly push you to keep going, and you also have the instructor who will tell you to keep going no matter how much you want to give up.

Unfortunately, the way things are right now, with gyms closed and fitness largely taking place indoors, you are your own instructor and motivator, which makes keeping on track of your goals very challenging. You must not give up, though. If you are truly determined to achieve a goal, then you can do it, whether or not you have others pushing you and motivating you.

In this article, we will advise you on how to keep on track of your fitness goals in the comfort of your own home.

Fitness is a journey, and you should not be too difficult on yourself. Oftentimes, people will struggle as they keep thinking of the finishing line rather than focusing on the actual day to day journey and the process they are going through. You must not forget to celebrate every day and each small victory rather than overly focusing on your main fitness goal.

Diet is key to keep on track of your fitness goal. This is more important than the exercise itself, as you may not see any results if you do not have a proper diet in place. Some people struggle with not being able to eat healthy food, or they easily succumb to their midnight cravings for sweet and savory snacks. The best way to not eat junk food is to not have it easily accessible to you in your home. If you know you want to focus on diet, then make sure that you do not buy any unhealthy food. This can be a bit of a challenge if you have children, but they too can start eating healthy snacks with you. Replace sweets with fruit such as grapes, and reduce the number of sugary treats in the house.

As we mentioned above, diet is the number one factor contributing to how well you achieve your fitness goals. However, sometimes, people take general information and apply it to their lifestyle. Everyones body is different, and everyone will require different things as they will have different goals. Some people want to lose weight while others want to gain, others solely want to build stamina or muscle mass. No matter what your fitness goal is, you must improve your nutrition knowledge and keep track of your calories. There are many online applications that you can use that will tell you exactly how many daily calories you should be consuming to achieve your goal, and you will be able to input what you eat throughout the day. Sometimes people fail to see results because they are not nourishing their body with the nutrients it needs.

Most of us human beings are visual people, and keeping on track of your fitness journey can be frustrating as you may not see the results yourself in your body. This is why it helps to have a fitness calendar, where you can see where you have started, then add different stepping stones in your calendar to achieve. Also, have your deadline where you want your body to be at the end of a certain amount of time. It should go without saying that this goal and timeframes should be realistic so that you do not struggle to achieve it.

Staying motivated to do something is challenging. We may often find ourselves saying, I did a good workout, so I deserve a slice of cake. This is an excuse for poor behavior, but we aim to justify it so that we do not feel guilty about it. It is important to have a friend that will positively challenge us and ensure that we remain on our journey, and will make us accountable for our actions. They will tell us that eating the cake may feel good now, but it will make the good workout we had useless.

The most important thing to remain on track with your fitness journey is to be gentle with yourself. Do not starve your body, and do not work out if your body does not feel like it. Remember that your body also needs to rest as part of your fitness goals.

Going through a fitness change can be a difficult process, not just physically but certainly mentally too, as you require strong will power to keep going. Make sure to follow some of the tips discussed above to ensure that you keep on track of your fitness goals in the comfort of your own home.

How to Keep on Track of Your Fitness Goals in the Comfort of Your Home - Blog - The Island Now

By Emma Phillips

SAN FRANCISCO A hearing resumed here in U.S. District Court Thursday to determine if the Mesa Verde ICD Detention Center should continue to be monitored by the courts after a massive COVID-19 outbreak this summer that sickened a quarter of the staff and more than half of the detainees.

After multiple technical difficulties shortened the court day, proceedings were still much more streamlined earlier in the week, when the judge complained about the slow going.

A brief filed last week charged that ICE and other officials misled the court, and increased the risk of virus transmission, including ignoring CDC protocols. District Court intervened in August and ordered no new detainees should be introduced, and ordered weekly testing of staff and detainees. Now ICE wants to lift these restrictions.

The evidentiary hearing in the matter is before Federal District Court Judge Vince Chhabria in the Northern District of California, where ICE officials are testifying under oath. Among those expected to testify are ICE Deputy Field Office Director Erik Bonnar and Acting Deputy Field Office Director Moises Becerra.

Thursday, ICE Attorney Royal Oakes called Dr. Sean Henderson and GEO group facility administrator Nathan Allen, the Chief Medical Officer of the Correctional Health Services Department of Department of Health Services in Los Angeles County. GEO is a civilian contractor at Mesa Verde.

As a practicing physician in Riverside County emergency department and occasionally working in Los Angeles County Jail urgent care, Henderson said he is thoroughly versed in COVID-19 care, prevention, transmission, and response plans to this virus.

Henderson provided abundant sources of evidence regarding CDC guidelines, GEO plans for COVID-19 management, Mesa Verdes facility administrators declaration dealing with the pandemic, GEO visitor screening COVID-19 questionnaire, an ICE pandemic response requirements, Mesa Verdes medical COVID-19 response plan, as well as others. Henderson agreed that all of the documents provided followed CDC guidelines at their given point in time.

Henderson then completely lost connection to the Zoom hearing and the internet in his office, and Judge Chhabria decided to call the next witness, Field Administrator Nathan Allen. Allen is directly responsible for most of the operations of the Mesa Verde detention facility, and is under contract with ICE.

Allen explained to the court that Mesa Verde can house about 400 detainees, but there are currently only 45 detainees spaced out over three, 100-bed dorms. The final dorm is reserved for detainees who have tested positive for COVID-19. Once these detainees retest after 90 days, they can rejoin the general population.

Attorney David Weinstein then presents numerous pictures of the facility, showing how cleaning carts are available to detainees to clean the dorms, the cafeteria area only allows one detainee per table, only some sinks are available for use in the bathroom to remain distanced, and adequate signage in multiple languages educating detainees on the importance and practice of wearing masks and socially distancing.

Besides all of these adequate provisions, Weinstein submits to evidence more than 10 photos of detainees in various areas of the facilities, none of which portray detainees wearing masks. Allen agrees that he typically does not see detainees wearing masks, and questioning reverts back to Oakes examination of Dr. Henderson.

Oakes addresses one of the most important questions that has arisen in this case: Is Mesa Verdes architectural configuration inherently inadequate to cope with possible COVID-19 outbreaks? Henderson testifies that it is perfectly adequate given it is part of a larger system and detainees can be moved appropriately if Mesa Verde starts to face an issue.

Plaintiffs Attorney Sean Rirodans cross-examination of Henderson emphasized to the court that the GEO and ICE plans, policies, and procedures for COVID-19 were not specific to Mesa Verde nor being implemented at the facility.

Riordan said that although Henderson testified on Thursday that he doesnt think it has been studied how far apart people need to sleep from each other to avoid spreading the virus, his deposition agreed with Dr. Greifingers opinion that detainees should be sleeping 10 feet apart from each other.

Hendersons deposition also revealed that he thought saturation testing was a bad idea because if these tests revealed a large number of positive tests, it could make the facility the subject of much scrutiny and might force it to close up shop.

Riordan uses these statements to discredit Hendersons expert opinion, suggesting the witness does not recommend saturation tests because detention and correctional facilities would not have the ability to respond to a large number of COVID positive individuals.

Henderson ends his testimony by reiterating to the court that he never expected to keep COVID-19 out of the facilities, and his goal was to keep whoever we have as safe as possible and to protect the vulnerable from the virus.

Allen is then brought back into the Zoom meeting for more questioning from Weinstein.

Previously contested emails between Allen and a Mesa Verde employee who claimed they had been in close contact with an individual who tested positive for COVID-19 were shown to follow CDC guidelines about asymptomatic essential workers coming to work. Allen asserts he acted according to these guidelines, and adhering to CDC guidelines.

He further explains a plan for bringing in new detainees that included housing the general population in two dorms, the two remaining dormitories used for known-infected individuals, and cohorting intakes.

He said intakes will ideally happen from Monday to Fridays, stopping at Friday which is when the 14-day quarantine period would occur. No intakes would be possible until this period was over and intakes were moved to the general population.

The hearing continues Friday morning at 11 a.m.

Hearing with Expert Testimonies to Determine Fitness of ICE Mesa Verde Facility, Struck with COVID-19 - The Peoples Vanguard of Davis

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that his midfield duo are "close" to a return - but his captain will be missing this weekend

Liverpool will assess the fitness of midfield duo Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho ahead of theirPremier League clash with Leicester.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed on Friday that the pairwere edging closer to a return to action, but that the Reds would be without captain Jordan Henderson for Sunday's top-of-the-table fixture.

Thiago has not featured since the Merseyside derby with Everton on October 17, having suffered a knee injury in a challenge with Blues forward Richarlison, while Fabinho has been absent since picking up a knee injury in the win over Sheffield United a week later.

But both players were pictured at the newly-opened AXA Training Centre this week, and Klopp told his pre-match press conference that they would be looked at closely before a decision was made on their involvement against Leicester.

Goal 50 Revealed: The best 50 players in the world

Henderson, though, will join Trent Alexander-Arnold on the missing list having suffered a groin issue with England during the international break.

Klopp told reporters: "Hendo will not be available, that's clear. All the rest, we will see.

"They are in a good way. They are all closer, but we will see if it's close enough for the weekend."

Klopp also discussed the injury suffered by Joe Gomez during training with England, which looks set to keep the 23-year-old out for a large part of the remainder of the campaign.

He said: "It was a tough one. The surgery was successful, and he is already recovering. He's with his family, so he is in the best possible place, I would say.

"Rehab has started now. We help as much as we can. For the first few days after surgery you feel pretty alone, but if you have the family around, as is the case with Joe, then it's all good, or as good as possible."

Liverpool were, at least,boosted by the sight of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was back training outdoors as he steps up his recovery from the knee injury which has kept him out since August.

The England international is unlikely tobe considered for Sunday's game, but could make his return to action next month, providing there are no complications.

"Ox is in a good way," Klopp added.

Liverpool to assess Thiago & Fabinho fitness ahead of Leicester clash but Henderson out - Goal.com

Jordan Henderson will miss Sundays Premier League encounter with Leicester City, but Liverpool will assess the condition of Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara ahead of the Anfield clash.

Henderson withdrew from international duty with England earlier this week after feeling a bit of tightness, according to Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate, and will sit out the visit of the Foxes.

However, Jrgen Klopp confirmed the Reds will check on Fabinho and Thiago to see if theyre ready to return for the meeting with Brendan Rodgers side.

Klopp told his pre-match press conference: We will see, [but] Hendo not and Trent [Alexander-Arnold] not, thats clear. All the rest we will see.

They are in a good way, Ox [is] in a good way. They are all closer but we will see if it is close enough for the weekend.

Meanwhile, on Mohamed Salahs fitness, Klopp added: He is probably back today, thats all Ive heard.

We are obviously in close contact with him all of the time and, how it always is in these cases, in the moment when you have a negative test then the process really starts. Hes in a good place, he feels well, no symptoms, so that is all fine.

Liverpool were dealt a further injury blow during the international break when Joe Gomez was required to undergo surgery to repair a tendon in his left knee.

The operation was a success, but is likely to rule him out for a significant part of the remainder of 2020-21.

Klopp said: [It is] a tough one but the surgery was successful, so he is now already recovering first from the surgery and then starting the rehabilitation.

He is with his family, so he is in the best possible place I would say. Thats it, pretty much. Rehab has started now. After surgery you count from that moment backwards and we help as much as we can, but for the first few days all of the boys after surgery probably feel pretty alone. But when you have your family around and thats the case for him then its as good as possible, thats it.

LFC fitness update: Henderson, Trent, Fabinho, Thiago and Salah - Liverpool FC

You may Walk Like an Egyptian (The Bangles), Walk Right In (New Christy Minstrels) or be Walking on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves). But however you do it, you want to know how many steps youre taking and have incentive to take more!

Its true, fitness trackers not only count your steps, they can tell you your sleep time and quality, sun exposure, calories burned and where you are in space and time (in case youve left the planet). Seems great except according to a new study, folks who use them log significantly fewer steps daily than folks using a simple step-counting pedometer.

Maybe its because you have to stop walking to read their screens, but whatever it is, new-fangled fitness trackers arent boosting your dose of daily exercise. According to the study in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, newer devices ... are less advantageous than simpler pedometers.

When the researchers looked at data on step-counting folks, they found that after four-plus months of daily use, people with body-worn trackers and smartphone apps took 834 fewer steps a day than those using a straightforward pedometer. And how about non-counters? A 2007 a study in JAMA found folks with a pedometer walked 2,491 more steps daily than folks who never counted steps.

So, if youre serious about getting in 10,000, life-changing steps a day, download a well-rated, free pedometer onto your phone or buy a simple step counter. Youll find (with apologies to Nancy Sinatra) that Your Feet Are Made for Walking.

The annual "Global Day of Giving" is upon us this holiday season and what better way to give back to your community then joining in on#GivingTuesday by donating to the organizations that make Santa Barbara a place we are proud to call home. Noozhawk is teaming up with local nonprofits to encourage you to take part in the international day of giving on December 1st, 2020.

It is no secret that this year has been full of challenges. In the midstof the COVID-19 pandemic local nonprofits need your support now more than ever. OurGood for Santa Barbara Nonprofit Sectionprovides all the resources you need to donate this holiday season.

In this interview,Noozhawktalked with Gina Carbajal, Development Director ofSpecial Olympics Southern California - Santa Barbara, to learn more about how the nonprofit is dedicated to providing athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Question:What is the name & mission of your nonprofit?

Answer:Themissionof Special Olympics Southern California is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. Ourvisionis to promote acceptance, inclusion, and wellbeing for people with intellectual disabilities through sports.

Q:How long has your nonprofit been in service and whom was it started by?

A:U.S. Gold Decathlon winner Rafer Johnson started Special Olympics Southern California in 1969. Rafer received a call from Eunice Kennedy Shriver in 1968 as an invitation to the first Special Olympics Games in Chicago. He said that the event was such a positive environment and he wanted to help the movement grow. Johnson knew more needed to be done for people with intellectual disabilities so in 1969, he helped form the Southern California chapter of Special Olympics. Today, Special Olympics provides year round sports training and competition throughout Southern California to over 38, 200 athletes with intellectual disabilities.

Q:What was the inspiration behind your non-profit?

A:Eunice Kennedy Shriverbelieved that if people with intellectual disabilities were given the same opportunities and experiences as everyone else, they couldaccomplish far morethan anyone ever thought possible.She put that vision into action in 1962 by inviting young people with intellectual disabilities to a summer day campshe hosted in her backyard. She called it "Camp Shriver."The goal was to explore the children'sskillsin a variety of sports and physical activities.The idea behind that first Camp Shriver began to grow. InJuly 1968, the first International Special Olympics Games were held in Chicago, Illinois.

In her remarks at the Opening Ceremony, she said the inaugural Chicago Special Olympics prove "a very fundamental fact-- that children with intellectual disabilitiescan be exceptional athletes and that "through sports they can realize their potential for growth. She pledged that this new organization, Special Olympics, would offer people with intellectual disabilities everywhere the chance to play, the chance to compete and the chance to grow.

Q:How has Covid-19 impacted your non-profit?

A:With the COVID-19 pandemic impacting everyday life, Special Olympics faces new challenges. As we adapt to these unprecedented circumstances, we continue to serve our athletes. However, in order to ensure the safety of our athletes, staff, and community, we have made necessary modifications to our programming until we can come together again for in person sports training and competitions.

We have also been impacted like so many other non-profits and businesses financially, as we rely on fundraising events and grants to support the programs that we provide to our athletes. We were only able to hold two virtual fundraising events this year and most foundation and grant sources have shifted their funding to Covid-19 services within the community.

Q:Describe the changes that have been made to staffing and internal operations due to Covid-19. Are these changes expected to last beyond the short term?

A:We are following all State of California Covid-19 protocols to ensure that staff, volunteers and athletes are safe. We have three staff that oversee the daily operations for Santa Barbara Region. We are mainly working remotely from our homes, with occasional office days. We plan on going back to normal operations, once we are all able to get back to normal activities.

In regards to programs, we have made important changes to our programs to keep our athletes engaged in physical activity, wellness and social engagement. We have had to changes:

A:I want to introduce you to Jessica Simon; she has been involved with Special Olympics for approximately 35 years. She first started participating with Special Olympics through our school programs at the age of 5 years and transitioned into the traditional sports programs. Jessica has participated in 10 of the 13 sports that are offered by Special Olympics. Jessica says, Her favorite sport if she had to pick one is swimming.

When asked how the current Covid-19 pandemic has impacted her life, Jessica said I have been staying with my family a few days out of the week and a few days in my apartment, it has impacted my being independent. Jessica also stated, I really miss not being able to get together with my friends at Special Olympics and not being able to interact in competitions.

In September, Jessica got engaged to her fianc David Samson, whom is also a Special Olympics athlete, they are planning on getting married in 2024. Both Jessica and Dave also participate in Alpha Resource Center programs. What she misses most, is not being able to see David on a regular basis due to Covid.

Jessica is keeping herself active, by swimming at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club on a weekly basis, her goal is to be picked for Special Olympics World Games in swimming. Besides swimming, she is keeping connected with her fellow athletes through the weekly Zoom meetings and Zoom fun activities with her fellow Special Olympic Athletes and staff. Some of the activities that they are participating in our trivia nights, bingo, scavenger hunts, baking activities, etc...,

Q: Why should donors trust your organization and what can your organization offer donors in exchange for a donation?

A:Our athletes always come first, they are our number one priority, and we follow our guiding principles, which are the following:
