Abstract
Kinesiologists, human movement professionals with specialization in preventive and adapted physical activity, the promotion of active lifestyles, and wellness management in various public and private settings, possess skills that enable them to design, conduct, supervise, and evaluate educational and rehabilitative physical activity programs aimed at individual and collective well-being. Professional practice is grounded in the biopsychosocial model which interprets well-being as the result of the interaction between biological, psychological, social dimensions, and the salutogenic paradigm, which focuses on personal and contextual resources that support the maintenance of health and quality of life also considering the aging of the population. . The appropriate response to the growing complexity of healthcare needs requires greater synergy between sports, education, prevention, and healthcare, with the specific contribution of professions related to the practice of physical activity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
