One of the most visible consequences is the large increase in the prevalence of obesity in Europe in recent years. It is not only a cosmetic issue but also because it is associated with several health risk factors. (1)Although there is an interaction between diet and physical activity in health, particularly in relation to obesity, there are additional benefits that can be obtained With exercise that are independent of nutrition and diet. (2)Although it seems obvious that there is a dependency on the feet to perform most types of physical activity, it is rare to value its importance for physical exercise.One study in one region of Australia concluded that one in five people reported pain in their feet and that this had a significant negative impact on quality of life. (3)In another study in Canada, it was concluded that for many older people, foot health is the limiting factor for health and mobility. (4)In the mentioned studies, tools were used to assess foot health (5) and the level of physical activity of an individual. (6)1. Cavill N, Kahlmeier S, Racioppi F.
