Description
Summary:The present research has an ascertaining-interpretive character and refers to the bidirectional osmosis between sports (recreational and competitive) practised by students, on one hand, and the standard of living and quality of life (liveability), the resilience of the socio-economical and environmental system, on the other hand. The authors consider that recreational sports also play a social protection role (in case of crises), by being an alternative to the presumed disorganized or even harmful spending of spare time. Therefore, attracting students to practise the three types of sports (recreational, competitive or adaptive) may become a consequence of long- and middle- term investments in education and logistic facilities. The interview method has been applied. The interpretation of the respondents' choices shows that the methods of attracting students emotionally to the systematic practice of sports (recreational or competitive - in addition to the academic practice) seem to be a palliative solution.
