Dubai Fitness Challenge 2022 is in full swing; offering residents and visitors of Dubai a huge selection of free and inclusive fitness events and activities for all ages and fitness levels to take part in. Building on DFC’s inspirational goals, DP World Kite Beach Fitness Village welcomed a special group this weekend, with over 200 Knee surgery warriors joining a dedicated fitness class held at the Etisalat By E& Main Stage.

The participants are part of the LET'S WALK AGAIN initiative, launched by Dr. Azam Khan (AKA Dr. Knee) in collaboration with PRIME Hospital. The initiative aims to raise awareness around Knee Osteoarthritis, a condition that is affecting around 19% of adult UAE population aged 45 and above. The participants, from ages 30 up to 80 years old, came together to show their commitment to the cause, and to demonstrate the positive impact of regular physical activity for Osteoarthritis in terms of decreasing pain and improving physical function.

Dubai Fitness Challenge presents an ideal opportunity for those suffering from Knee Osteoarthritis to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor weather and the numerous fitness events and activities taking place across Dubai, as well as the advanced Sports infrastructure which offers easy access for people of all abilities to some of the city’s best fitness and sport facilities. Regular exercise plays a key part in increasing strength and flexibility for people with arthritis.

Dr Khan has been raising awareness of knee health throughout the world and has been conducting free surgeries for knee osteoarthritis patients in many countries of the world. He has also taken a patient to Mount Everest base camp and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to promote the importance of knee health.
