Macao Polytechnic University (MPU) student Cheang Wai Hun broke the Guinness World Record for the most one-arm pull-ups in one minute, the public university said in a statement yesterday.
Cheang, the statement noted, is a student from the university’s Faculty of Health Sciences and Sports. He was able to achieve 21 one-arm pull ups, beating the previous record of 18.
According to the statement, Cheang said that breaking the record was a significant achievement in his life and that he would endeavour to break new records in the future.
Cheang, the statement added, also talked about his experience in fitness training and how one should master movement techniques when doing sports, sensibly arrange training intensity and volume, and not to rush or train beyond one’s abilities.
The university is committed to cultivating “outstanding sports talents”, the statement said. The statement noted that MPU’s students and alumni have been competing in international sporting events and “obtaining outstanding achievements” over the years, contributing to the “cultivation of talents in the physical education specialisation”.
