95% of French people do not move enough to stay healthy

Chain activities

So what are these “activity levels”? To be healthy, it would be necessary not to practice a sport (even if that is already not bad), but to combine different exercises:

Practice 30 minutes, 5 times a week, a cardiorespiratory activity such as climbing stairs or cycling, running, walking at a good pace, etc. Perform muscle strengthening once or twice a week such as carrying a heavy load, playing tennis, doing swimming or aerobics…,Perform stretching exercises such as gymnastics, dance or even yoga, 2 to 3 times a week.Many obstacles

Wanting to do sports is good. Power is another matter. Because many obstacles (often related to urban planning) are a brake on the practice of sport. As Professor Irène Margaritis, Head of the Nutrition Risk Assessment Unit at ANSES, points out, “it is the very organization of our lifestyles that needs to be reviewed: whether in public space, by leaving more room for active mobility such as cycling or walking, or in the workplace, by promoting sports practice and limiting sedentary time, or even in the school system by increasing the space and time dedicated to physical and sporting activities.
