This Olympic and Paralympic week (January 24 to 29), which will once again be held in a complex health context, aims to promote the regular practice of sport.
The theme this year is sport and climate and the environment.
The objective is to "generalize" this device by 2024 while the teaching of sport is fishing particularly in primary school and this while a sedentary lifestyle is a scourge for health.
A phenomenon aggravated by successive confinements.
"I will not be an astronaut without a regular and continuous practice of sport", launched astronaut Thomas Pesquet recounting that he practices "two and a half hours" of sport on board the space station "otherwise we lose muscle mass, in bone mass, and our health is deteriorating really quickly."
"700,000 students should take part in the Olympic and Paralympic week," said Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris-2024 Olympics organizing committee.
