Abstract

The economic growth and the standard of living, in addition to the undeniable advantages, also brought negative changes in the lives of everyday people: transport accessibility and the online possibilities to perform countless tasks led to convenience in the daily physical movement of the population, which has the effect of increasing sedentarism. This trend has serious effects on physical and mental health, so it is essential to understand the impact of physical activity on health and promote an active lifestyle. Nonprofit organizations such as sports associations have a major role in promoting a healthy lifestyle. Evaluating sports nonprofit organizations and their performance is essential to understanding the real impact they have on communities and the promotion of sport. This article aims to evaluate the performances of some non-profit sports organizations from the Central region of Romania, using the SWOT and Balanced Scorecard methods. The evaluation results reveal the existence of chronic insufficiency of material resources and managerial expertise. These organizations face difficulties in achieving their goals and ensuring the sustainability of their activities.
