Sports, health and quality of life are closely interconnected. We all need regular physical activity in order to function optimally and to prevent illnesses. Furthermore, living an active life brings many other social and psychological benefits. The social role of sports also has the potential to strengthen the European's external relations.
But certainly sporting also holds a risk of injury. It has to be taken into account that according to the IDB about eighteen percent of all injuries due to accidents result from these sporting activities.

The benefit for health could be significantly increased by reducing the frequency of sports injuries!
