This initiative is the result of the need to enable the population to benefit from and enjoy physical activity and sports. According to the latest ‘Survey on the Bizkaian population Sports Habits’, 17.6% of Bilbao’s population claimed never did physical exercise or sport. 38.6% only go walking for physical exercise. These data reaffirm the importance of driving, information and educating people on doing healthy inclusive sport.
