The national system seeks to fight against sedentary lifestyle with the help of local actors.
Solution sport is much more than a gym. Since this spring, it has been awarded the Maison Sport-santé label. This national system aims to break with a sedentary lifestyle and promote a healthy lifestyle. To do this, Sport solution has very specific specifications to respect. Florence Carrat and her team have identified 40 km around Millau the multidisciplinary actors in the field of health and sport.
“The goal is to manage a network to guide customers according to their needs“, explains the head of Solution sport. The center will therefore be empowered to carry out assessments of physical conditions and an interview to define a personalized sport-health program. The team will follow these new athletes for one year.
But their actions do not end there. They will support local policies in the development of physical activity in the territory. “We can also be solicited as an operational service provider by social centers, companies or associations“, details Florence Carrat. Before adding:”We respond to territorial needs. We want to seek out people who are far removed from physical activity.“
Each year, the Sport-santé houses have to report the data of the various actions carried out. In the department, only the departmental committee of physical education of voluntary gymnastics Aveyron, in Rodez, also received the label. In France, there are 288 structures recognized as sports-health centers. The objective stated by the Ministry of Sports is to label no less than 500 establishments by 2022.
Take care of yourself
Since its inception, Sport solution has sought above all “to get people to take care of themselves “Says Fanny Cottier, coach.”For us, what will change above all is the administrative side “, affirms Florence Carrat. Last year, Fanny Cottier, a young athlete responded to a call for projects which enabled her to create a rugby team suitable for seniors.
“For a year, it was free for them because we had received grants. Team members have asked me to continue next year. They are ready to pay now“, she explains proudly. The main obstacles to the practice of sport are not financial.”It is the fear of not succeeding, of hurting yourself and then there is also the gaze of the other and the opinion of those around them which do not always encourage the practice of sport.“, details Florence Carrat.
So put on your sneakers, and let’s go!
