  •  Just as physical activity is considered a medicine, lack of physical activity is considered a disease, the so-called “hypokinetic disease”;
  • The reduced physical activity in childhood has serious repercussions in adulthood and old age;

  • The adverse effects caused by lack of physical activity are dose-dependent: the less physical activity you practice, the more increase the risks;
  • The lack of physical activity also has very serious repercussions on the budgets of the state budget because it increases the cost of public health;
  • The reduced physical activity has a negative effect on the whole body, from bones to hair, from heart to lungs.
