Madrid, February 14, 2024.- La Rioja achieves first place as the Autonomous Community that performs the most physical activity, according to data collected by PuntoSeguro, the pioneer online risk life insurance comparator in Spain, which Rewards physical exercise to promote a healthy lifestyle. This analysis, carried out based on the activity of the 2,000 daily users of the application, highlights the active participation of Rioja residents, and highlights the effectiveness of initiatives to promote physical activity in the region. The results demonstrate that La Rioja’s leadership in the ranking is a clear reflection of a collective commitment to health and vitality, being a model to follow for the rest of the communities in Spain.
La Rioja takes the lead as the autonomous community with the highest number of hours dedicated to monthly physical activity in Spain, setting a precedent for regional health and well-being.
This small territory, known for its vineyards and cultural heritage, is now also distinguished by its leadership in promoting an active lifestyle. With an average of 48.03 hours of activity per month, it far exceeds other communities.
La Rioja not only leads in hours of activity, but also ranks among the top positions in other significant categories: it occupies second position in steps and sixth in calories. This indicates a balance between the duration and intensity of exercise among Riojans, which can be attributed to a lifestyle that integrates physical activity into daily life, beyond simple recreation or scheduled exercise.
Not far behind in the classification is the Basque Country, which has known how to make a difference through the number of steps completed by its inhabitants in each monthly challenge. Topping the chart with a monthly average of 231,496 steps, this community shines for its mobility, reflecting a culture of physical activity deeply rooted in its society.
This community also shows excellence in other areas, placing second for calories and sixth for time. This set of results highlights the adoption of healthy practices and infrastructure that promotes mobility, from walking to traditional sports, which are an integral part of their culture.
The Balearic Islands take the title in calorie consumption, with an average that amounts to 9,335 calories burned monthly. This impressive number not only speaks of the intensity of physical exercise in the archipelago, but also of the importance of physical activity in an environment that invites movement and outdoor life.
This community also highlights its third position in terms of hours of activity, which underlines the intensity and commitment to physical activity. In an environment that favors water sports and outdoor activities, the Balearic Islands combine the enjoyment of their natural environment with a vigorous exercise routine.
Cantabria stands out for its dedication to exercise, reaching an admirable second place in the duration of physical activity with almost 42 hours per month. This data, which places it above communities with greater population density, is a reflection of the Cantabrian commitment to an active lifestyle. This statistic is a testament to the resilience and dedication of Cantabrians to physical well-being, a feat that deserves recognition and can serve as inspiration for other regions.
In addition, the community shows a valuable third position in the calories burned category, suggesting a combination of both recreational and higher intensity physical activities.
Castilla-La Mancha does not show a pattern of consistency in the panorama of physical activity in Spain, thanks to its two firm third places in the categories of calories burned per month and hours of movement. This autonomous community demonstrates that tenacity and a balanced approach to physical activity are key to maintaining good health.
This performance is a clear indication of the integration of exercise into the daily life of the Castilian-La Mancha people, who seem to have found the formula to combine intensity and time dedicated to physical well-being. Additionally, these data could be influenced by public health policies that promote physical activity through sporting events and wellness programs in their various provinces.
