Quality of life, health, and adherence: Part 1

Abstract

The study addresses the relationship between quality of life, health, and adherence to physical exercise, highlighting the factors that positively and negatively influence the practice of physical activities. The aim is to understand how to promote a healthy lifestyle across different contexts and populations. The text explores various factors affecting quality of life, such as environmental pollution, stress, sedentary behavior, and lifestyle-related diseases like obesity and diabetes. The research emphasizes that the promotion of mental and physical health depends on a complex interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. Furthermore, the importance of Physical Education in promoting healthy habits and preventing diseases is discussed. Evidence from previous studies shows that regular exercise improves well-being, reduces anxiety levels, and increases physical vitality, especially among specific populations like the elderly. Challenges to exercise adherence, such as lack of social support, economic conditions, and physical limitations, are also highlighted. Promoting quality of life requires comprehensive strategies that integrate physical exercise with social support and changes in the community environment. Accessible and personalized programs, combined with educational interventions, are essential to increase adherence to exercise practices. Physical Education stands out as a powerful tool to encourage healthy behaviors and improve quality of life.
