The Importance of Physical Activity for Health, a new presentation in the Sports Talk Series

This Tuesday, November 28th at 7:00 PM in the Carmelo Gómez Templado Auditorium of the House of Arts and Music, the second talk in the Sports Talk Series will be held. It will last 1 hour and 30 minutes and will be given by Juan Luis Yuste, PhD in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences and professor at the Faculty of Education at the University of Murcia.

The series of conferences on Sport is part of the Cieza City Council's Education Department's Project, called Cieza Educating City. According to the Councillor for Education, Manuela Fernández, “As an educating city, we work to ensure that education is a cross-cutting axis of all local policies, raising awareness and reinforcing the educational potential of actions and programmes in health, the environment, urban planning, mobility, culture, and sport…” “On this occasion, we are working with the Department of Sport and Health on a topic as important as Sport, because Sport has become a social and cultural phenomenon of utmost importance for citizens of all ages, possibly due to the educational values it conveys.”

Physical activity provides numerous benefits to an individual's quality of life. Sport and exercise can have positive effects on social, emotional, and mental well-being; they can provide satisfying and pleasurable experiences; they foster social connections; and they contribute to empowerment.
