Description
Summary:The aim of this research was to popularize the specific Physical Education and sports methods, promoting the physical exercise for an increase in the quality of life and a change in lifestyle. The research objective was in probing the public opinion regarding the ways of making people aware of the obesity problem and the risks it presents on the human body. For this, activities were organized, in order to capitalize and support the principles on which the notion of movement in general, and the organized movement in particular, are based on, thus influencing the fitness of the population, and improving the health of our nation. The different orientation of the answers complete the picture of individual perceptions according to gender, but also give a common consciousness of the problems leading to the appearance of different disorders as a result of weight surplus.
