Research projects related to the research chair:

Sanitas Smile Project: Carrying out physical activity is particularly important in the work environment, where situations of a sedentary nature, stress, anxiety and weariness can arise. All of these situations have negative repercussions on companies, as they are associated with work absenteeism and loss of productivity.

The Sanitas Smile Project aims to start up programs suited to today’s lifestyle. The research objective is related to the economic and employment impact that the practice of physical exercise has on the work environment. This stems from the fact that nowadays people have little free time available, so personalizing a physical exercise program to meet their specific needs will allow for significant economic savings, which in turn will contribute to saving in social and healthcare costs.
