【 摘 要 】

Maintaining an active lifestyle is an effective approach to promoting and supporting physical and psychological health throughout the lifespan. Participation in physical education, sport, exercise and leisure-time physical activity may play an important role in the development of an individual's competence, skills, and social and personal abilities. However, nowadays children and adolescents are immersed in a sedentary society, where healthy lifestyle choices can be influenced by different issues leading to a decrease in the practice of these activities linked to active and healthy lifestyles. As an example, industrialization and increasing technological development have led children and adolescents to acquire increasingly sedentary lifestyles, as well as being exposed to a series of other psychological problems and risks. In this case, a good example could be those related to personality alteration, which enhance certain symptoms such as increased irritability, depression and/or nervousness, among others. Each and every one of these symptoms is harmful to the mental health of this population group. Actually, they are also exposed to other types of situations or alterations such as those related to eating disorders or the acquisition of inappropriate eating habits, as well as altered sleep patterns (Klavina et al.).
