The next season of the All-Russian project Homo ambulans (Walking Man) has ended. This program of increasing physical activity of the population is implemented annually within the framework of the Russian movement "Sport is the norm of life".
The team of the Volga Region University, under the strict guidance of the head of the Department of Real Estate Management Kristina Nizamutdinova, surpassed its own result two years ago. Among 284 universities in Russia, employees and students of the university rose to 32nd place.
Kristina Evgenievna is a kind of ascetic, a promoter of running and an active lifestyle. Since 2019, she has run a total of 2,200 km and 20 marathon distances. But he sees his mission in convincing people to move.
"I managed to attract many colleagues to participate in the project this year," says Kristina Nizamutdinova. – At the preliminary stage, the team consisted of 50 people, but not all were active, and in order to achieve the best result, only 35 of the most "walking and running" had to be left. Among them are Deputy directors of the Institute of Sports Anton Zanin and Ilya Filippov, Acting Head of the Department of Physics and Mathematics Marat Galyautdinov, as well as representatives of the legal Department Alik Nikolaev, Ekaterina Egorova and the Department of Public Procurement Natalia Sabirova.
"In general, the university team has completed more than 5 million steps in two months," continues Kristina Evgenievna. - The average result of each is almost 333 thousand. I also improved my personal result from 664 to 800 thousand steps. But most importantly, people started moving, walking home, walking the dog more often, running and walking with the children. The results spurred others on. And we were lucky with the weather, the autumn was dry and warm. So, I consider my mission accomplished. We are waiting for the next project!"
