« We do this because it is scientifically proven that sports have a positive impact on your mental well-being, » says Kevin Ayeni, marketing manager of Basic-Fit. « You often notice that yourself: after a sports session you may feel physically tired, but mentally equipped.

And you don’t have to be athlete for that. »
