A practice linked to education, health, tourism, adventure, nature...

Physical activity is part of the daily life of many people, and it is also part of the policies and strategies to promote health and quality of life. There is a growing awareness that having a more active lifestyle is one of the most important factors in preventing various diseases, slowing or reversing their progression, and reducing their damage.

In recent years, the motivations for doing sports together with other activities related to tourism, leisure, adventure or ecology and nature have multiplied. For all these reasons, the labor market increasingly needs a highly trained profile, and the university training of its professionals guarantees quality and safety for consumers of physical-sports practices.

In addition, specialists are required who are capable of making relevant contributions in the research development of the scientific discipline itself, and in its transfer and practical application to various contexts; contexts that can range from education to entertainment, through recreation and health.
