The increase has a strong effect on the society and economy. The PSV Foundation and St. Anna TopSupport are aware of this issue and take it seriously. The PSV FITfans programme shall contribute to stimulating a more healthy lifestyle.
Topsupporters
To some extent, the programme is based on the project Topsupporters, which the PSV Foundation delivered jointly with St. Anna TopSupport during the season 2016/2017.
TopSupport helped people with a medical record to train for running the distance of the DLL Marathon in Eindhoven. The programme showed positive results regarding the health conditions of the participants.
