Sport for Mental and Psychological Wellness was the topic of a seminar offered by Europroodos VET INSTITUTION Corinth as part of the Erasmus+ “Health, Solidarity, and Social Cohesion with Sport” initiative. This year’s seminar took place on March 30, 2022, at the Europroodos VET INSTITUTION Corinth premises in Corinth, Greece. Twenty people (20) attended the presentation, during which Roukis Professional Welfare Center engaged the audience by explaining the relationship between sports and well-being in a participatory manner.
The center theme was “Physical and mental health are intertwined”. Ms Faidra Amourgianou and Ms Vasiliki Milioti referred to “exercise may help treat a variety of mental health issues, according to a number of studies. In addition, research shows that regular physical activity might help alleviate symptoms of depression. Improving one’s self-esteem has been shown to be related to one’s impression of one’s physical self, especially one’s body image. Sport and physical exercise can have a positive impact on the health of individuals and communities. However, evidence relating to the health advantages of physical activity primarily focuses on intra-personal aspects, such as physiological, cognitive, and affective benefits».
