Lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle are now the leading cause of death worldwide, ahead of smoking.
These risky behaviors are, however, significantly underestimated even though the positive effects on health of engaging in physical activity, even moderately but regularly, are medically proven. Combating this scourge has become a real societal issue in which the business world is now investing.
On the occasion of the Entreprenariales, a conference will take place on this current project from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
It will be led by Jรฉrรดme VANDAMME, General Delegate of MEDEF in Alpes-Maritimes, in association with participants Dominique LELAURAIN, Regional Director, Groupe AG2R La Mondiale, Gaรซlle CASCAILH, Human Resources Director, Tournaire SA, Jean-Marie GARBARINO, Former Dean of the UFR STAPS in Nice, and Doctor Karim TIFRATENE, Public Health Department, CHU of Nice.
UPE06, funded by the AG2R foundation, in partnership with the public health department (CHU Nice) and the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Nice, has developed an innovative project promoting physical activity in the workplace based on active participation of employees, with the support of management and human resources, and has proposed setting up physical activity sessions in the workplace as part of its “Fit Company” program.
The originality of this project lies in the fact that it is a co-constructed action with the voluntary and active participation of employees, who have themselves identified and selected the types of physical activity to implement.
