Reclaiming the Joy of Sports - Olympic Style Competition for Cardiac Rehab Patients

Cardiac rehabilitation patients will get a wide variety of challenging, but safe activities to compete in for the 2010 World Heart Games.  These provide a monitored and competitive way for the participants to be active in a way that they and their medical team are comfortable with.  Some events that participants can expect to compete in are: table tennis, bocce, golf putting, bowling, prediction events, basketball, game of knowledge, volleyball, tennis, softball throw, soccer shoot a 9-hole golf tournament and much more.  We encourage you to learn more about the game rules.  As clinicians in cardiac rehabilitation, we have all witnessed the evolution of the sedentary, sometimes isolated life in our patients with cardiac disease or risk-related symptoms, to one of hope, activity and purpose.  Cardiac rehabilitation programs prepare patients to reenter life!

How to Get Involved
You can change the life of your patient or loved one in just 3 simple steps...
  1. Talk to your patients, friend or loved one about participating in these games!
  2. Help them register for the games!
  3. Download, print and hang up the 2010 World Heart Games poster and informational brochure for your clinic, rehab facility, gym or office!

Whether you are a cardiac rehabilitation specialist, cardiologist, registered nurse, physical therapist, physician or clinical exercise physiologist, we'd like to see you and your patients at the 2010 World Heart Games.

Event Sponsorship Opportunities
With the continued support of corporate sponsorships, the ACSM World Heart Games will provide another terrific opportunity for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation patients to once again capture the thrill of physical activity and friendly competition.  The games provide a strategic marketing approach for your company by positioning your corporate brand to a captive target audience - your prospective clients, patients and customers.  It is anticipated that the 2-day event will draw 200-250 participants, in addition to the patient's medical support team, family members and local spectators. There are a variety of benefits and options for visibility offered to sponsors.  If you have interest in supporting the World Heart Games, please contact Jessica Hancock  or call (317) 352-3893.

THANK YOU TO OUR EVENT SPONSORS!
