Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGA) offer a cost and space-saving solution for organisations such as schools that want to provide a range of sports but have limited budgets or space. These pitches can provide an all-in-one football, basketball, hockey and tennis facility, making them popular with PE departments across the country. As a result, they can help make the most of your available space while also providing your pupils with a high-quality, professionally installed facility that will serve them well into their adult lives.
How Much Does a Muga Cost?
The price of a muga depends on the size, complexity and surface type you choose. You will also need to factor in any ancillary equipment or civil engineering works that will be necessary as part of the build. This includes a base, drainage outfalls and access pathways or roadways. These additional costs can add up so it is important to ensure you plan your project carefully and stick to a realistic budget.
What Happens During a MUGA Scanning Session?
A MUGA scan is a nuclear medicine test that uses an imaging device to study your heart. It uses a small amount of radioactive tracer to highlight red blood cells and show how your heart pumps blood. It is usually done while you are lying down. You may need to fast before the test. You should also avoid caffeine and tobacco products for four to six hours before your MUGA scan.
You will have a small injection of the tracer through an IV. You will then lie down while the scanner takes pictures of your heart from different angles. The MUGA scan takes about two hours to complete. You should drink lots of water after the test to help flush the tracer from your body.
