 "The perspective of change led Columbian Sports Confederation to diagnose the state of sport in the country" - the only reliable figures, obtained up to this time - in accor-dance with its populational discovery. As may be observed in the chart, nineteen million inhabitants have no possibility to participate in any form of organized sport, while six million students have possible access to physical activities through their curriculum. Likewise the Family Compensation Funds provide recreation to approximately two million users.

 Here is a "Sketch of the Diagnosis on Sport for All in Colombia" :

medical supervision during the past year.

　81% expressed lack of knowledge of the techniques/ foundation, of the physical or sports activities in which they engaged.

　64% indicated the use of hazardous exercises with no assistance or help.

　52% indicated little knowledge as to rest and diet habits for performing sports.

　71% responded as being a sportsperson "once a week."
