Protein
An institution that provides services in the health and recreation sectors, by establishing the health Protein application with 4 services: 1 – Providing consultations, nutritional diets and exercises by over 15 coaches and nutritionists; 2 - A mediator connecting 5 stores and shops –and soon restaurants – to deliver healthy snacks and sport equipment; 3- A directory for more than 150 health restaurants and shops around the Kingdom; 4- More than 52 weightlifting videos for all the body muscles. One of our initiative is to create an electronic game with virtual or 3D technology to make aerobic exercises performed through entertainment. This is done through games played in different environments “forests - seas - mountains ...”. One example for such games involves a group of thieves chasing the user who is asked to run for 30 seconds. 10 holes then appear before him and to skip them, he has to jump 10 times. He is then attacked by some people who try to harm him and he defends himself by doing some boxing exercises. The game is yet linked to a virtual store and the size of the cartoon character changes by purchasing supplements from this store to get stronger and gain more power for the game. The game ideas took about six months to develop. For some financial reasons, the game is difficult to be implemented. We are, thus, working to convert it into a healthy card game including over 150 exercises featuring 150 creative ideas.
