Sport's Medicine is, above all, a preventive medicine, to which Italian people aren't adapted, for customs and mentalities. It is very important, especially in young people, to evaluate the status of physical fitness to give the right suggestions for sport's practice and all the advices about nutrition and prevention and care of the more common growing injuries (obesity, scoliosis, cavus or flat foot). Also it is important in mature people, that have never practiced sport or restarted themselves after a long period of inactivity, to give the right indications to practice sports without risks.
