February 3, 2004, Taipei, Taiwan- Beginning
from February 1, China Airlines and Taiwan!|s leading health club
brand jointly designed new inflight exercises. The new inflight
exercise videotape was introduced to the long haul flights and
most of regional flights over 4-hour length. The exercise is aiming
at fatigue-relief during air travel.
The new inflight exercise was created by expert based on the
space restriction of aircraft cabin. Six stretching and massage
exercises emphasizing on neck, shoulder, hands, back and key acupressure
points are included in the 10-minute videotape. The tape was shot
in a bamboo forest in central Taiwan to ensure a soothing atmosphere.
According to medical researches, healthy passengers are rare
to acquire deep vein thrombosis (DVT) during air travel. However,
passengers with cardiac problem, obesity, cancer and pregnancy
are easier victims for such threat. Most passengers tend to feel
fatigue and uncomfortable in the parts of neck, shoulder, breast,
