In a situation of individual and collective loss and disorientation, at home without knowing what to do, with the mind engaged in difficult journeys and a body that loses tone, having a trainer like Salvatore Ciconte available to explain what to do and, perhaps, a journalist like Marco Gregoretti, who helps to interpret it in the context of an increasingly rhythmic breaking latest news, could represent the turning point towards the light. Thus the introduction of the book “Sportivi e felice. Feeling fit to live peacefully ”published by Sole 24 Ore, on newsstands from Saturday 24 July at the price of € 12.90 explains how the idea of the two authors to write this volume was born. They call it the happiness hormone. It is endorphin and gives us a pleasant feeling of peace. Sport produces it. How many times before a circuit or a race do we feel unmotivated, but do we force ourselves to go on? And what happens when we’re done? We seem to be more loaded than before. This book comes at the end of a difficult period for everyone and wants to lead the reader through the how, when and where of good training: the cards, nutrition, science. To be sporty and happy. And who, during the toughest restrictions dictated by the virus – explains the introduction – has tried to remember this, perhaps doing small training circuits at home, has certainly benefited from it. That’s why you have to do sport, the two authors said to themselves: to get better. This book aims to tell, through the direct testimonies of famous athletes, how much sport can always help in life, in hard and difficult moments. And, above all, to suggest to everyone, to those who study, to those who work, to those who are overweight, to those who aim to achieve important goals, to those who simply want to keep fit, the right way to train, eat, stay together. . In three words: to play sports.
The book is divided into 11 chapters ranging – to quote a few – from the “Phenomenology of amateur sport” to “Training to lose weight. Lose weight to train ”passing through“ Sex and sport. No problem ”and“ The athlete’s ailments, how to prevent them, how to cure them ”.
The volume also contains three interviews with as many athletes rich in records, medals, results and humanity, from whose stories important lessons can be drawn: marathon runner Valeria Straneo, boxer Giacobbe Fragomeni and tennis player Maria Elena Camerin.
