SEM@KKH offers a comprehensive range of services (clinical exercise programmes) for women, children and adolescents regardless of their fitness level and health profile:
This programme has been designed specifically for children and adolescents. It provides a holistic approach towards educating children and adolescents on the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle. To ensure exercises are done safely and correctly, our Clinical Exercise Physiologists (CEPs) will supervise all activities within the Fitness Centre, providing a safe environment for patients to improve their body composition, fitness level and confidence while exercising and/or performing physical activities.
Who is eligible?
Patients are required to undergo a Fitness Assessment prior to commencing their first exercise session. The fitness components that are measured during the assessment include but are not limited to: Body Composition, Flexibility, Muscular Strength and Endurance, Aerobic Fitness.
During the initial visit the CEP will conduct a Physical Activity and Lifestyle Counselling (PAC) session to assess the patient's current physical activity status and recommend suitable strategies to guide parents/caregivers and patient in making lifestyle changes to strive towards better health.
Baseline results obtained during the Fitness Assessment would go towards developing an individualised exercise programme for the patient which would then be carried out under the guidance and supervision of the CEP. The programme is carried out in either an individual or group session.

Sports Optimisation Programme (SOP) is designed for children and adolescents with sports-related injuries with the aim to optimise rehabilitation outcomes for post-injury sports performance. A group of healthcare professionals (medical doctors, physiotherapists, and clinical exercise physiologists) co-manages the programme. The main objective of SOP is to reduce sporting re-injury rates, improve post-injury sporting performance, minimise training performance disruptions during rehabilitation and safe re-entry to sports training
