The Objective Health Fair returns for its ninth edition this Saturday, November 19. It will take place at the Faculty of Medicine of Nice from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“Mens sana in corpore sano”, a philosophy that perfectly applies to this sports and physical activities fair for well-being and health. With the health crisis that has impacted us all, the sports sector has also suffered economically. Mainly young generations (between 11 and 17 years old) have been most affected by new alarming societal behaviors.
Medical experts from the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) have assessed the year 2022. The finding is clear: 95% of the French population is at risk of future health deterioration due to a lack of physical activity and accumulated excessive sedentary behavior.
The new edition of the Objective Health Fair aims to raise public awareness of the major cause of physical exercise and well-being. This will be highlighted through various activities, including thematic conferences, workshop debates, and testimonials from top athletes and health professionals. This event is launched with the initiative of the Rotary. It is an international humanitarian organization acting for sustainable and beneficial actions for the greatest number.
Among the speakers, Vivien Layet will represent OGC Nice to discuss injuries in sports and more specifically in football. As a doctor at the training center, he will be able to present everything that may hinder a footballer. He will speak from 5 p.m.
