The World Health Organisation is warning about the risks of physical inactivity, since it is the 4th death risk factor worldwide; and urges governments to foster actions to increase physical activity among their populations.
At GaituzSport we continue to foster and facilitate the practice of physical activity as a powerful health and socialisation tool for each and every one of us. We are holding in conjunction with the Bilbao City Council and Basque Government, the Health Promotion via Physical Activity Sessions in Bilbao for the 4th year running.
Under the slogan “A fitter, healthier and more inclusive Bilbao”, the Health Programme via Physical Activity comprising 6 free inclusive practical workshops to be held in May and June in the following districts: Otxarkoaga – Txurdinaga, Casco Viejo (Old Quarter), and Deusto.
The aim is to facilitate the practice of physical activity in equal conditions among the disABLED and/or those with health disorders.
A unique opportunity to start or resume physical activity in normalised spaces with the advice and accompaniment of GaituzSport instructors, who are PhysEd & Sports graduates specialised in health.
