Pandemic: Restarting sports and athletic activity - Εικόνα

You can actively participate in the discussion by asking your questions

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), in partnership with “Sports Excellence”, which operates under the scientific supervision of the 1st Orthopedic Clinic of the Medical school of Athens, is organizing a series of lectures on the COVID-10 pandemic. All the lectures will be broadcasted from the Book Castle via live streaming. The event is coordinated by the “Regeneration & Progress” NGO, and the program is realized thanks to a grant by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). 

Athletic activity in all of it forms has been shown to reinforce and protect our health. Nevertheless, the measures imposed on various sports activities by the development of the pandemic in Greece will remain in place for some time yet, and people who ailed from the virus will have to be particularly careful when transitioning back into sports. Joining this panel discussion to explore the prospect of restarting sports, professionals from the fields of exercise and health will impart information on managing the risks and propose solutions for a safe return to exercise.
