The successful innovative Ergometric Program “Join us in Sports” aims to measure and assess the athletic ability of children and teenagers 9 to 16 years of age. The Ergometric Program was launched
for the first time
in Greece
in 2006
with the support of COSMOTE. From November 2006 till May 2009, the programme was carried out in
34 municipalities of Attica,and 10 cities of Greek periphery
giving
11,000 children
the opportunity to discover their athletic abilities using scientific means! Children and teenagers had the opportunity, regardless of whether they actively exercise or not, to find the sport that really suits them best and thus to
make sports A WAY
OF LIFE
!
The program is implemented with the scientific support of the Ergophysiology – Ergometry Laboratory of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Science of Athens and the “EY ZHN” organization. Children’s efforts were supported by the weightlifting Olympic Champion and COSMOTE Social Responsibility program ambassador Pyrros Dimas.
