\"\"Santo Domingo, Rep\u00fablica Dominicana.-<\/strong> La Asociaci\u00f3n Internacional de Deportes para Todos (Tafisa), celebra en este 27 de mayo el Dia Mundial del Desaf\u00edo en coordinaci\u00f3n con la Organizaci\u00f3n de la Naciones Unidas para la Ciencia y la Cultura (Unesco), y el Comit\u00e9 Ol\u00edmpico Internacional (COI).
\nEn ese sentido este 2026 el tema corresponde a\u00a0\u00abEl Deporte es un Derecho\u00bb<\/b><\/i>\u00a0con el respaldo de la UNESCO con lo que se pretende sensibilizar a la sociedad sobre la importancia de la activa participaci\u00f3n, permanencia en el deporte y la \"\"constante actividad f\u00edsica promocionando la salud por medio del bienestar f\u00edsico.
\nEn este d\u00eda se sugiere practicar todo tipo de actividad f\u00edsica: caminatas, ciclismo, carreras, ejercicios en empresas, judo, karate, kurash, yoga, Jiujitsu, Tae Kwon Do, estiramiento, atletismo, f\u00fatbol, baloncesto, tenis, juegos recreativos, entre otros, dada la gran importancia de practicar constantemente ejercicios f\u00edsicos y as\u00ed evitar el sedentarismo y mejorar la calidad de vida.
\nEl Dia Mundial del Desaf\u00edo tuvo su inicio en el a\u00f1o de 1983, durante el duro invierno canadiense, cuando se registraron temperaturas de 20 \"\"grados bajo cero. Cuentan que el alcalde Clifford\u00a0de la ciudad de Saskatoon,\u00a0propuso una acci\u00f3n que requer\u00eda la cooperaci\u00f3n de todos.
\nPidi\u00f3 a los mun\u00edcipes que a las tres de la tarde deb\u00edan apagar las luces y todos salir de casa caminar durante 15 minutos alrededor de la manzana m\u00e1s pr\u00f3xima. Lo que era una la invitaci\u00f3n a hacer ejercicio f\u00edsico.
\nAdem\u00e1s de fomentar la actividad f\u00edsica, la iniciativa result\u00f3 un ahorro de energ\u00eda que pudo ser calculado por el n\u00famero de personas involucradas en la actividad.
\n\"\"Al siguiente a\u00f1o esta experiencia fue compartida con la ciudad vecina, y realizaron la caminata juntas en la misma fecha y hora. De esta manera se defin\u00eda el esp\u00edritu del llamado Dia del Desaf\u00edo.
\nYa en 1990, Tafisa (The Association for International Sport for All), con el importante apoyo de ISCA (International Sport and Culture Association), se hizo cargo de la organizaci\u00f3n del evento de manera que comenz\u00f3 a ganar fuerza y adeptos.
\nEn muchos pa\u00edses realizan caminatas para promover la salud ya que las mismas ayudan a reducir las llamadas enfermedades cardiovasculares, diabetes y obesidad, tambi\u00e9n se fomenta la \"\"integraci\u00f3n social pues fortalece la comunidad, as\u00ed mismo, se crea conciencia ambiental pues incentiva la conexi\u00f3n con la naturaleza.
\nEn ese sentido la Union Panamericana de Judo (UPJ), se integra plenamente a las actividades de este Dia Mundial del Desaf\u00edo con sus entidades nacionales afiliadas y en esta oportunidad la Fenajudo, el judo tradicional chileno, tomo la iniciativa de realizar actividades del llamado Judo Convencional y Judo Paralimpico de la mano de la sensei Elizabeth Thompson y Lizardo Suazo, as\u00ed mismo, nuestros representantes de Venezuela se hicieron participes de la actividad mundial.

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.\u2013<\/strong> The Association for International Sports for All (TAFISA) is celebrating World Challenge Day this May 27th in coordination with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
\nThis year’s theme, \u00abSport is a Right,\u00bb<\/strong><\/em> is supported by UNESCO and aims to raise awareness about the importance of active participation, continued involvement in sports, and consistent physical activity, promoting health through physical well-being.
\nOn this day, people are encouraged to practice all types of physical activity: walking, cycling, running, workplace exercise, judo, karate, kurash, yoga, Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, stretching, athletics, soccer, basketball, tennis, recreational games, and more, given the great importance of regular physical exercise to combat sedentary lifestyles and improve quality of life. World Challenge Day began in 1983, during a harsh Canadian winter when temperatures plummeted to -20\u00b0C. The story goes that Mayor Clifford of Saskatoon proposed an initiative that required everyone’s cooperation.
\nHe asked residents to turn off their lights at 3:00 PM and walk for 15 minutes around their nearest block. This was an invitation to exercise.
\nIn addition to promoting physical activity, the initiative resulted in significant energy savings, which could be calculated based on the number of people participating.
\nThe following year, the experience was shared with the neighboring city, and they held the walk together on the same date and time. This is how the spirit of what would become World Challenge Day was born. Back in 1990, Tafisa (The Association for International Sport for All), with significant support from ISCA (International Sport and Culture Association), took over the organization of the event, which began to gain momentum and followers.
\nIn many countries, walks are held to promote health, as they help reduce cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity. They also foster social integration by strengthening the community and raise environmental awareness by encouraging a connection with nature.
\nIn this spirit, the Panamerican Judo Union (PJU) fully participates in the activities of this World Challenge Day with its affiliated national entities.
\nOn this occasion, Fenajudo, the Chilean judo federation, took the initiative to hold activities in both Conventional and Paralympic Judo, led by Sensei Elizabeth Thompson and Lizardo Suazo. Representatives from Venezuela also participated in the global event.
