EUROPROODOS VET Center of Thessaloniki organized the open event with the participation of fifty (50) people who attended the game and gave speeches related to the topic of «Active and passive sport in daily life.»
They explain the distinctions between active and passive sports, and they also take part in a game of football with a well-known footballer, Mr Aggelos Charisteas an ex national footballer with worldwide fame and acknowledgement.
Specifically, active recreation is defined as any activity, such as cycling, that requires a significant amount of energy expenditure on the participant’s part. Reading and fishing are examples of activities that fall under the category of passive recreation, which requires little physical effort but typically lasts for an extended period of time. Passive recreation also refers to activities that do not require prepared facilities such as sports fields or pavilions. Passive recreational activities don’t put much of a strain on a place’s resources, so they are not only good for keeping natural resources in good shape, but they could also help keep ecosystems healthy.
