(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 26 – Maurizio Casasco, president of the Italian Sports Medicine Federation, was unanimously confirmed today as president of the European Federation of Sports Physicians meeting in Brighton. Casasco leads the Italian Federation and has been leading the European Federation since November 2017. “I am very honored for this confirmation – the words of Casasco – and I want to thank all the European colleagues for the great trust. A special thanks to FMSI for its fundamental contribution that for 93 years it has contributed to making sports medicine a universally recognized Italian excellence “.
“There are already 16 European Union countries – continues Casasco – that contemplate the specialization in Sports Medicine, but we must aim for recognition in all states of the continent. Scientific progress, gained thanks to a consolidated experience at the highest sporting levels – they must continue to be made a common heritage, to improve the health and well-being of all, a goal to be developed in full harmony with the International Federation “.
“During my first mandate at the helm of the EFSMA – explains Casasco – we have achieved several important objectives: first of all, the strengthening of scientific production.
We will continue to engage in a cultural renewal that insists on promoting health protection through sport and physical activity at all ages. For this, it is necessary to insist on widespread training and the dissemination of guidelines, starting with those on the ‘Exercise Prescription for Health’. During this second mandate, which I will carry out in close collaboration with the International Federation of Sports Medicine, chaired by Professor Fabio Pigozzi – concludes Casasco – we will also continue to work to contribute to the construction of a European sports medicine that is always at the forefront through a cultural, technical and scientific confrontation aimed at protecting the health of those who practice sports at all levels and at the fight against doping “.
