The beginning of 2013 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Elysee Treaty, also known as the Treaty of Franco-German Friendship. Although it was not included in the original Treaty, sport is now one of the sectors that bring the populations on both sides of the Rhine together.

They also require a new relationship with other stakeholders and the sports movement is in the front line. So how can physical activity be used to improve employee health?
