This best tells us the fact that physical inactivity became a fourth risk factor of mortality globally, as evidenced by the World Health Organization, which initiates more and more initiatives that recommend movement, so that in the future, movement will be increasingly important for everyday functioning and quality life, Lovrić emphasized.
The goal of the event was to raise awareness of the importance of movement and physical activity in everyday life through a symbolic message “Select the stairs instead of the elevator”.
