Introduction
ASAA Sport talent as a partner organization for another sports project this year! This time, the project will promote cycling and as always, the physical activities as a driving tool for our overall health condition; which is exactly our associations’, one of the most valued goals.
The first official meeting in person for the project ‘Sport is better than Cure – The Cure’, took place in Tusa, Italy. The meeting was productive and all of the partner organizations contributed with their relevant presentations and tasks. We have our goals set for the upcoming year, and we are looking forward to your participation in our adventure.
What is it about?
The project’s main aim is to promote Cycling as a traditional European sport to help in the
fight against diabetes and enhance people’s health.
The project focuses on a real need of target groups/associations and is meant to be highly
sustainable. The project will contribute recommendations for local citizens (targeting nonprofessional
cyclists as well) in addressing the issue of lack of physical activity and well-being.
The Cure project experiences will be sustainable and deliverable to the wider public in the
form of Manual and “the Pills for Health”, which will be available via the project website (it
will be maintained for another year after the project completion), project accounts in social
networks, etc.
What is planned?
The course’s objective is to offer an introduction to bicycle touring as a leisure sport
activity that can be practiced individually or as a group activity. Taking place once a week
over 3 months (10 sessions in total), each session will start with a general Theory
Introduction (about 45 minutes), to be followed by a 3-hour practical part on the road.
During the practical sessions, participants will be trained and accompanied by at least 2
trainers appointed by a responsible partner – one to lead the team and one biking at the
end to supervise the whole team.
