When it comes to fitness and Zumba, one name that constantly pops up in conversations among cancer survivors is Assoc Prof Dr Mohd Nahar Azmi Mohamed.
The ladies love his classes, men long to move like him, and patients wait months to consult him.
Every Saturday morning, the affable head of Universiti Malaya Medical Centre’s (UMMC) Sports Medicine Department can be found shouting instructions, swivelling his hips and moving to intoxicating rhythms as he teaches Zumba and aerobic classes to cancer survivors at the hospital’s premises.
By CAITLIN M. KENNEY | STARS AND STRIPES Published: October 20, 2020 WASHINGTON The University of Pittsburgh is conducting a study to determine the best way for the Marine Corps to approach gender integration at its two boot camps, the service announced Tuesday. The study comes as the Marine Corps faces a looming deadline set in the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act that mandates the service end gender-segregated training within five years at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., and integrate training within eight years at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Calif. The Marine Corps wants “an independent, scientifically credible study of the models of entry-level military training to identify potential alternatives to increase gender integration of entry-level training,” Bradley Nindl, a co-principal investigator and senior adviser for the study, said in a statement issued Tuesday.
