Abstract(s)
There is a strong agreement that physical activity (PA)
positively influences individual health status. Regular PA
is an important factor along the whole life cycle to promote
a healthy life style. Childhood and adolescence are golden
ages to promote and acquire PA habits. Physical activity
promotion in childhood and adolescence is partially based
on the assumption that PA habits are developed during
these periods of life and are maintained throughout
adulthood
