“Walking in company – explains Carmine Di Muro, head of sports medicine at the company – is one of the easiest, cheapest and most fun activities and within everyone’s reach. Scientific studies have shown how this activity can help maintain health or recover from it not only from a physical point of view but also from a psychological point of view, considering the socialization benefits that a group walk brings brings with it. Regular physical activity, especially when done with others, helps reduce stress and anxiety and a tendency to depression. The proposed activity is free and convivial and aims to prevent illness and complications. You do not need a medical certificate to take part and it is sufficient to show up at the starting point at the specified times. Each group is led by a so-called “Walking Leader” or an employee of the USL who has been specially trained to coordinate this type of activity by suggesting the activity that best suits the needs of the participants. These are the contacts of the hiking leaders for information about hiking groups: Pontedera (Paola 339.5072131).
