00:00The report of this year confirms the importance of sport, not only from the direct point of view of the sector, but also for its impact on the economy, on society and also on health.
00:17And above all, it highlights how, after difficult years, especially for the sector linked to the pandemic, the energy crisis, the increase in raw materials and the increase in financial costs, there has been a strong recovery.
00:32And in fact, the contribution of sport to GDP has grown at a double rate compared to the rest of the economy.
00:41Let's go back. Certainly, international comparisons showed a delay in the participation in sports activities, a higher rate of sedentary life than in other European countries.
00:56But even there we have found encouraging numbers, there is a growing number of people who regularly carry out sports activities during the week.
01:09And this, I believe, is also due to the investments in sports infrastructures that encourage participation.
01:17We still have to do a lot, especially in schools, by creating gyms, so to encourage the practice of sport from young people.
