8月16日（日）、本学「大楠アリーナ2020」で、人間科学部スポーツ健康科学科の学生が企画・運営する市民参加型運動会「産九（さんきゅう）スポーツ」を開催しました。
This event aims to promote community building through sports and improve health awareness among local residents by providing an opportunity for everyone to easily engage in exercise. This year, with the theme of "zoo," students who regularly study health, sports instruction, and sports management with a focus on sports science devised the event using their expertise. Four events were held, carefully designed to be enjoyable for people of all ages, from children to adults, regardless of their prior sports experience.
On the day of the event, in addition to approximately 160 general participants, players from the women's volleyball team "Fukuoka Girasol" were also formed into mixed teams as special participants. Participants engaged in activities that could be enjoyed by people of all ages, such as an obstacle course called "Kangaroo Delivery Service" and a candy-collecting game called "Lion's Food Gathering," and the venue was filled with smiles and cheers from beginning to end.
閉会式で学生を代表し同学科2年の堀翔さん（九州産業大学付属九州産業高校）は「運営を行っている中で参加者の皆さんの笑顔を見れてとてもいい経験になりました。また来年もぜひ参加してください」と挨拶を行いました。
Participants shared comments such as, "This year I invited friends and their families to participate, and we both enjoy the creative competitions every year," "I was so happy to win a gold medal," and "It was a fun sports day whether we won or lost!" It seems that for the students, it was a valuable opportunity to put into practice the sports management and coaching methods they learned in class.
