International Active Cities Association has hosted another important event series as part of the ESC30 project “Solidarity Circle: Volunteering Hands in Sports” (Project code: 2024-3-TR01-ESC30-SOL-000276733). The series, organized under the title “Stay in Sports Trainings and Activities,” raised awareness against sedentary living (inactivity) by conveying the mental and physical benefits of physical activity to participants with scientific data.
The event series, consisting of three stages, was successfully completed:
1.Training: Benefits of Physical Mobility and Creating an Activity Routine The first activity of the series was the “Benefits of Physical Mobility and Creating an Activity Routine” training, held in-person on October 28, 2025. With the valuable presentation by field expert Mahmut Talha Sağlıklı, practical information was conveyed to participants on how to integrate physical activity into their daily lives.
2.Workshop: Sedentary and Trained Individual Test Activity Immediately following the training, also on October 28, 2025, the “Sedentary and Trained Individual Test Activity” workshop was organized. With the presentation and applications by instructor Mahmut Talha Sağlıklı, “MobeeFit Back Scan Digital Posture Analysis” and “S3 Check Pro Denge Ölçümü” tests were applied to two sample individuals, one trained and one sedentary. Thanks to these concrete examples, participants directly observed the positive effects of regular physical activity on the body. Participants also had the opportunity to try the tests during the event.
3.Application: Healthy Walk Activity The training series concluded with the “Healthy Walk Activity,” where the learned information was put into practice. Participants who gathered on November 1, 2025, completed an enjoyable group walk on the designated 10 km course. Following the physical activity, a dinner organization was held, which included an interactive feedback session where participants’ opinions and thoughts on the entire process were gathered.
