After the pandemic, marathon events have been emerging like spring shoots all over the world. Marathon, as a high-intensity, high-exertion sport, poses a significant challenge to participants' bodies. According to relevant research data, the risk of cardiovascular events during a marathon increases sevenfold. Furthermore, according to statistics from the UK media, the probability of sudden death among marathon participants is 0.8 per 100,000 people, making safety measures for such events even more crucial.
On March 18, ViVest Medical provided support for two marathons on the same day, ensuring the smooth completion of both events.
