Abstract

Well-being is a cognitive construct related with quality of life, life satisfaction and happiness. It integrates objective and subjective parameters, a various life domains and it is influenced by individual values. The foundation of total well-being is the physical health because promoting health enhances vigour, resilience, employment and social outcomes. Further, health is conditioned by our own habits and behaviour and the accumulation of positive and negative effects on health and well-being is for over the life-course. One of the main goals of physical education is to instill in students the values and skills of maintaining a healthy life style and to enhance their overall growth and harmonious development. An obesity prevention program is required in Romanian schools, at least at puberty age, when the students are more sensitive to body changes and more self focused. Physical education might make a more significant contribution to young people's self image acceptance if lessons are planned and delivered with this specific student’s subjective goals in mind. Aerobic exercise, strength-training, and combined aerobic/strength-training interventions are equally effective. In non-formal physical activities the selection of exercise type depends more on preferences and personal goals. Keywords: physical activities, body image, health education, overweight, life style
