PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH LIFE STYLES; A GLIMPSE TO CURRENT TOPICS

Abstract

An adequate implementation and understanding of the theoretical concepts in physical education and physical activity, represents an opportunity for the development of current and proper responses for each one these concepts, which in synchronous and sustainable ways produce knowledge and understanding in a school culture within a community to build healthy life styles and other aspects necessary for these moments. Today´s society requires a greater understanding about both concepts in order to differentiate specific moments and individual stages, so that can have a greater impact in surrounding communities where sedentarism seems to increase in a daily basis, thus, having a higher incidence of risk factors and illness associated with the lack of engagement in physical education and physical activity. Without doubt the professional of physical education, from school environments and its different forms and actions represent a change for the development of a healthy and active society, where physical education is the key and origen for this social conduct.
