Sport and Physical Activity

Sport represents an integral part of people’s lives, being vital to the holistic development of individuals of all age. Sport brings people together, builds community cohesion, grows social inclusion and disseminates values of mutual respect for human rights, cultural diversity and different religious beliefs. Sport and a regular practice of physical activity are critical to improve citizens’ physical and mental health, preventing unhealthy conditions and the likelihood of diseases. Sport and physical activity also impact on local and global economy, employ millions of citizens and generate a huge amount of revenue.
