Health gyms
Wellness and health through physical exercise
CNA Emilia-Romagna, in collaboration with the Italian Association of Exercise Specialists (A.I.S.E.), is organizing the seminar “Health Gyms: a healthy lifestyle through physical exercise”, dedicated to the role of physical exercise as a tool for prevention and health promotion.
The initiative aims to enhance the Health-Promoting Gyms (PPS) project, facilities recognized by the Regional Health Service that play a significant role in promoting adapted physical activity and spreading healthy lifestyles. These centers support pathways focused on prevention, inclusion, and the improvement of overall well-being, and are now recognized as a best practice among regional projects involving exercise prescription as a preventive tool.
The seminar is intended to serve as a high-level forum for discussion among the Emilia-Romagna Region, Local Health Authorities (AUSL), the Ministry of Health, institutions, the healthcare system, professionals, the research community, and universities. The goal is to strengthen the link between physical exercise, prevention, and quality of life, also with a view to increasingly structured integration of physical activity into public health pathways.
