+ SPORT + HEALTH

+ Sport + Health Project

The + Sport + Health project aims to promote physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. It is intended for the entire population of the municipality, contributing to a more active life through the development of regular physical activity habits.

The +S+H Office (Gabinete +D+S) provides residents of Rio Maior with a free physical assessment service. Through an analysis of individual needs and goals, our specialized technicians recommend the most suitable physical activity options available in both public and private services. We seek to raise awareness among all participants about adopting healthy lifestyles through positive behavioural change. The office is located at the Swimming Pool Complex, with access near the reception desk.

For more than 20 years, Desmor and the Municipality of Rio Maior, with the support of the Parish Councils, have developed the + Sport, + Health programme, promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyles.

This popular project has entered a new phase, bringing new features and greater ambition in the services offered to all residents of Rio Maior.

The + Sport + Health programme is divided into three initiatives:

+ Running

Provides an introduction to road running and trail running under the guidance of a specialized coach. Its main objective is to promote and introduce participants to the sport while equipping them with the skills needed for independent practice. The programme also offers various challenges through goals and targets to be achieved.
