The numbers of the survey regarding the sport practice in Italy by Coni and Istat, show that the sedentary continue to be too many and that the percentage of people doing sport or physical activity does not show significant improvements in all age groups.
In Italy:
- 25% population practice sport regularly
- 9.7% sometimes
- 30.5% practice some physical activity
- 39.2% are sedentary
- 30,5% population with physical active life style in the Northeast
- 17.5% a re in the South
- 52.7% of the population in the South are sedentary
- 5.7% of leisure time of the population between 3-24 years is dedicated to sport for 2h13m per week
- from 2000 to 2016 the % of practitioners on an ongoing basis has increased by 7%
- from 2013 to 2016 is increased of 3%
We certainly cannot be satisfied. These data continue to highlight that Italy is split in two in terms of sport and during the last 18 years the improvement has been really small (8%). This data highlights the lack of national policies for the development of a physically active lifestyle. Sport and physical activity continue to be regarded as leisure activities and not as primary factors for the development of individual and social wellbeing. On the other hand these data were presented without the major sports organizations have denounced their seriousness and the adverse effect they produce on the health of citizens.
