Turchetta (Infant Jesus): “Health and sports essential for life”

“Sport and health are the two fundamental Ss of life. Health is the most important thing of all and when sport comes together, we associate good physical condition. On days like this it is important to carry out investigations that allow you to understand what your condition is like. In these two years, especially the younger ones, they have lost their sporting activity and contact with friends and competition, so talking about sport and health is talking about two fundamental elements of everyday life for adults, but more for children”. This was stated by Attilio Turchetta, head of sports medicine at the Bambino Gesù Hospital, speaking on the sidelines of the Tennis & Friends event at the Foro Italico. During these last two years, “the children have moved less and often with a video game and a television in front of them – he stressed – but the thing that worried us most was to see an element of almost disaffection with physical activity. Our goal is precisely to give an extra boost as regards the desire to do things, which comes from the right information. “
