• GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
Engage people in physical activities in natural protected
areas as places to be rediscovered and elements to stimulate
the involvement of surrounded communities respecting the
environment. Furthermore the project wants to promote social
inclusion and equal opportunities, increased participation
in, and equal access to, sport for all.
• SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
1. Developing sports management in natural
protected areas with an international network
able to establish a long lasting system of non-
organized outdoor sports activities: the project
involves research, labor market, International
and local communities, in a networking between
public institutions and the sports centers
2. Promoting the economic dimension of sports: the
active participation of All, especially young people,
women and people living in social disadvantage and
economic conditions will be a key feature of the project in
order to understand how physical activity linked to health
can become important to their own individual path, not
only health but also professional one.
LA FILOSOFIA DI SPRINTERS
u Il progetto risponde al topic Collaborative partnerships
on EU Guidelines in the field of physical activity
u Partendo da un’analisi delle EU Guidelines e dei bisogni
dei territori è emersa l’importanza dello sport definito
come «non organizzato»: walking, mountain –bike,
running. Discipline particolarmente interessanti perché
aiutano le persone a scoprire o ri-scoprire l'attività
fisica che può essere gratificante per la mente così
come il corpo. La pratica di questi sport risente però di
alcune limitazioni che devono essere riconosciute e che
richiedono interventi specifici.
u SPRINTERS si sofferma su due problemi in particolare: culturali e geografici.
u Limitazioni culturali: le persone non sono consapevoli del valore aggiunto
dell’attività fisica per il corpo e per la mente, molto spesso perché non ne
conoscono i benefici e non hanno le competenze tecniche minime per una
giusta pratica, spesso perché non vengono sufficientemente incentivate a
praticarlo. SPRINTERS mira dunque a sensibilizzare le persone sull’importanza
dello sport all’aria aperta utilizzando un contesto come quello delle aree
naturali protette luogo privilegiato e di grande interesse naturalistico.
u Limitazioni geografiche: praticare lo sport all’aria aperta significa però
cercare di garantire una convivenza pacifica tra i vari sport che potrebbero
essere praticati nella stessa area, senza che l’uno sia di intralcio all’altro, e
nel rispetto dell’area protetta da tutelare. Una problematica diffusa è la
mancanza di regolamentazione delle aree naturali in un’ottica di un miglior
utilizzo legato allo sport, se da un lato gli enti di gestione dei parchi naturali
comunicano che è possibile praticare attività sportive nelle aree, le persone
sono sfiduciate perché non hanno una pianificazione territoriale e sportiva
che li guidi e li stimoli, vivendo uno stato di rinuncia, di basso interesse e di
impegno discontinuo
Framework and challenges
In the European Union we can find different
types of natural protected areas: local,
regional, interregional, national up to the
European ones. Levels of protection and
eligible activities in such protected areas are
well defined by the European Union, clear and
shared by member States.
A gap emerges
between the
European
Nevertheless, at local level sports activities
in these areas seem to be not operationally written rules
regulated, especially in the field of local and
competitions. This demonstrates a need for practice/habit
capacity building for managers of in the
protected areas.
operational
management
of these areas.
In addition, the impact of such activities is
often underestimated, particularly respect to
the wildlife and the most important and
delicate plant species.
All countries involved in SPRINTERS have wonderful protected
natural areas that are likely to remain outside the circuits of
interest for citizens and institutions.
They are unaware of owning a
civic and natural heritage with
countless potential in sport and
for their own health.
Protected areas should be
perceived as an opportunity,
and not as a limitation.

"Non-organized" or “spontaneous” sporting activities are exposed to a number of
limitations which can be of geographic (in the case of SPRINTERS, sports will be
practiced in natural protected areas) or cultural type. In order to over come these
limitations, it is considered that a management approach should be apply to
address these issues.

Pilot actions will be a useful tool for achieving the objectives of the project. According to the
methodological bottom-up approach of project, they would serve to register participants’ opinions to
modify or implement identified routes. They will also serve as an awareness tool to encourage people to
play sports and to promote the activities put in place by the municipalities.

benefit to the individual and collective wellbeing, but a development resource that
contributes to create more active, responsible, prosperous and sustainable local
communities. The Observatory will be mainly a digital platform.
