Recreational Sports – A Form of Health Education

Abstract

A society that promotes sport and understands the value of life is one that secures a solid component of welfare and social optimism. The Cooper test is the most significant achievement of the education for functional aerobic capacity. Both groups improved their result by a few percent, but the experimental group experienced an improvement. We believe that programs drawn up and submitted to experimentation, through specific exercises, aimed at improving cardio-respiratory capacity were effective. Educating a motivation for practicing systematic, continuous, lifelong physical exercise should be the main objective of a physical education course. The most important thing is the habituation of students with systematic practice of physical exercise, physical activity inclusive of these daily lifestyles. The purpose of the present work can be considered achieved by means of its demonstration, that sports and recreational activities in keeping and improving health.
