EsPort: Sport-Health and Sport-Work at ESP and UCAD
Slogan: Energy of the Heart
Following a friendly discussion at the SAES restaurant of UCAD in April 2016, Prof. Amadou Thierno GAYE and Prof. Djibril SECK appreciated the idea of a sports project at ESP proposed by Dr Ibrahima NGOM. Prof. GAYE was the Director of the ESP of UCAD and Prof. SECK was the Director of INSEPS. Dr NGOM is a teacher-researcher in the Computer Engineering Department of ESP.
In addition, Dr NGOM contacted Prof. SECK, manager of the project who was very prompt and the “Sport-Health - Sport-Work” project at the ESP called “EsPort” was launched with the support of the Management of the ESP and ESP staff buy-in.
The project began with a prospecting visit to all sites that could potentially be a training venue. On the tennis court at UCAD 3, the training sessions are led by instructors well trained in INSEPS (Sciences and Techniques of Physical Activity and Sport) with a view to contributing to physical and intellectual efficiency ESP staff. UCAD staff also participate in EsPort training sessions.
For the Energy of the Heart of the staff of the ESP and that of the UCAD or the slogan EsPort, the management of the ESP has made a significant investment (subsidy, carpet, sound system, motivation of INSEPS monitors, hiking annual pedestrian, ...).
The Coach team rotates over the three days of training including Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
For social dynamics at ESP, EsPort has the support of all ESP staff through the monthly sponsorship system that mobilizes staff from a department or from the ESP leadership in four weeks. Each of the sponsors of the week supports the EsPort project with an in-kind donation of Water Bottle Pack and others… for the training sessions.
EsPort is "Being in good physical condition; It is Being able to carry out daily tasks with vigor and promptness, without excessive fatigue and, with the surplus energy necessary to Have time to enjoy our leisure activities and deal with the unexpected "
EsPort is also gentle muscle strengthening sessions to prevent the loss of muscle mass and maintain the necessary tone, improving breathing capacity. These sessions are offered to you by well-trained INSEPS monitors; in an easy form, with simple contraction and relaxation movements.
