A toned up body, a calm mind

Sport has numerous benefits for our physical and mental health, which have been known and recognized for a long time. For any naturist seeking personal fulfilment, sport can become your ally. Combining sports and naturism is:

  • Liberating: with the body free from the hindrance of clothing, movements are easier – swimming without swimwear, what a delight! Naturally the mind in turn becomes free.
  • Healthy: experiencing and consequently playing sports naked, enables the body to become more resistant, both to climate variations and illnesses.
  • Hygiene: sweat quickly evaporates rather than being converted into humidity and unpleasant smells.

Sports and naturism, history to the present day

Playing sports naked was already taking place during antiquity: Greek athletes trained entirely naked. Nowadays, “Randonue” (naked hiking) and naked yoga are growing in popularity in the world of naturism and official initiatives are increasing. Here are some examples:

  • In 2016 the first naturist Olympic games took place in Brazil.
  • The World Naked Bike Ride is a pacifist naturist cycling event against our dependence on cars and oil. It also advocates the beauty and individuality of the human body, embodied in the fragility of cyclists in traffic.
