Since the year of 2002 the Desmor – Rio Maior Sports Centre organizes
and manages a healthy and leisure program called “Mais Desporto, Mais
Saúde”. This popular sports program is a major innovation that provides
and promotes sports all over the county of Rio Maior.
Now that
the season is drawing to a close, it is time to evaluate the results
obtained, aiming to increase the practice of sport in the general
population, but specially in the elderly population.
This season
the program took place in 20 centres where more than 400 persons took
gym classes twice a week with specialized instructors, many of them
graduated in the Rio Maior Sports University.
