Summary:
Athletism has an important impact on peoples’ evolution. Both physical and emotional health is developed with the help of athletism. From ancient times, people have been involved with sports not only in Greece but other countries too. The use of various venues for ceremonies and sports was often and mandatory for most of the athletic events in these time periods. Also, sports were varied and some of them remain popular even today. In fact, the custom of the Olympic Games is still remaining where they are held every four years in many different parts of the world. The benefits of sports are varied so they help with the physical and mental health of the human being. Therefore, athletism is a global phenomenon and is constantly evolving.New sports and new ways of exercising are constantly appearing. It goes without saying that in Europe, but more specifically in Greece as well, the development of sports does not cease to exist. Of course, its growth has not been and is not always stable. Many were and remain
obstacles to its development. A person is accustomed to a sedentary life which becomes a huge obstacle to their healthy development both physically and mentally. Diseases such as obesity, depression, osteoporosis and many more are some of the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. The risk of contracting such diseases is higher in the elderly. Therefore, none engagement in exercise from those people can lead to serious problems. Some statistics that have been found will show how much all these factors hinder human evolution. Another recent example is one of the largest pandemics in the world, Covid19, where millions of people were forced to stay at their homes, ‘freezing’ their lives for a long time. However, more and more solutions are being discovered to overcome these obstacles, one of which is the appearance of 'green' gyms. With the existence of fitness equipment outdoors, another solution appears to deal with the problems of sedentary life. The purpose of this assignment, therefore, is the importance of the development of outdoor gyms in the municipalities, the benefits caused by the installation of
fitness equipment outdoors to humans and their municipalities and how municipalities can benefit from them, taking as a Case Study the outdoor gym on Dermidesiou Street in the Municipality of Neas Ionias.
