Sport for health, health for sport

"Sport is the great stand-by for modern society. It is used as illhealth prevention and to improve health, but also to protect teenagers from the dangers of excessive free time especially on the streets; to breathe life, via self esteem, into those who are hanging back in the marathon of life; to supply money adlib to the television magnates; to sublimate old rivalries between groups, both ethnic and national; to complement and complete slimming diets; and even to inspire fantastic stories in the seventh art, that has found a never ending source of scripts......"

That is how the main article of the latest number of Salut i Força starts, and analyses, with the collaboration of Dr. Bartomeu Marí and the director of Mega Sport, Kim Forteza, the key points to be born in mind when carrying out a particular sport.

In the digital edition of the magazine, www.salut.org, we can find other interesting articles that cover different topics, such as drug addiction, bronchiolitis, secondary effects of impoverished uranium projectiles and obesity in menopause. There is also an interview with the economist Miquel Alenyà, of the Social and Cultural Works of Sa Nostra.
