FIELDS OF ACTION
MAPEI Sport’s activity develops along three main lines:
Sports assistance: analysis and optimization of the determinants of athletic performance, individual assessment of the state of psycho-physical fitness, training planning, biomechanical analysis of the athletic gesture, medical-sports assistance aimed at identifying useful interventions to ensure optimal performance and also a guide for a correct health activity.
Applied scientific research in sports: a fundamental activity to have an always innovative and rational vision of the numerous problems that sporting practice entails at every level, trying to avoid and dispel commonplaces or “fashions of moment ”, indicating irrefutable solutions from a scientific point of view.
Sports culture: dissemination and “popularization” of scientifically validated knowledge, in order to contribute to the dissemination of an increasingly rational approach to both competitive and healthy sports, so as to obtain better results not only from from a performance point of view, but also and above all from the point of view of protecting and improving one’s health and physical efficiency.
