“…Such benefits can be psychological in nature, such as through improved mood states and reduced stress. On the other hand, benefits may be social in nature as physical activity promotes sociability and increases social integration and autonomy [ 37 , 38 , 39 ].…”

(1) Background: Family is considered as one of the most important elements for the transmission of healthy habits that improve the lives of students. For this reason, the present study aims to describe the degree of family functionality, emotional intelligence, Mediterranean diet adherence, and extra-curricular physical activity engagement. A further aim is to perform a correlational analysis between these variables. (2) Methods: To this end, an ad hoc questionnaire was used, alongside the APGAR, KIDMED, and Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS-24). (3) Results: Finally, the data suggest that a high percentage of students need to improve their diet. Further, students reporting severe family dysfunction showed worse outcomes. Thus, levels of emotional clarity were lower when family functionality was poor. Poor diet quality was also associated with lower emotional attention, with Mediterranean diet adherence being positively related to emotional clarity and repair, as well as normal family functionality. (4) Conclusions: Boys showed higher levels of adherence to the Mediterranean diet adherence, while girls reported higher family functionality. Thus, compliance with the minimum recommendations for physical activity engagement was associated with adequate adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The importance of diet for obtaining an optimal physical condition, adequate emotional state, and family functionality is highlighted.

“…Navike iz djetinjstva reflektiraju se i u odrasloj dobi, sklonost tjelesnoj aktivnosti u djetinjstvu ima tendenciju održavanja takve aktivnosti i u odrasloj dobi. Fizički aktivni pojedinci, i djeca i odrasli, iskazuju manje psihičkih poteškoća i bolje se nose sa stresom (Goenka & Devarajan, 2020). Sport kao fenomen ima goleme društvene vrijednosti, izniman doseg u sve sfere društva.…”

Demokratski odgoj i ljudska prava danas su u fokusu globalne politike.Cilj je stvaranje društva koje će biti inkluzivno, otvoreno, ravnopravno i nuditipodjednake mogućnosti članovima društva. Svjetske organizacije traže način nakoji će promovirati globalne ciljeve i potaknuti uključivanje što više zemalja u realizacijutih globalnih ciljeva. Ujedinjeni narodi inicirali su pokret „Sport za razvoji mir” kroz koji će se sportom i tjelesnom aktivnošću promicati doprinos miru irazvoju, boljem svijetu. Sport je oduvijek bio dio čovjekova života, važan dio društvai njegova razvoja. Bilo da je riječ o natjecateljskom sportu, tjelesnoj rekreacijiili igri, krajnji je rezultat zdravo tijelo i zdrav duh. Godine 1978. UNESCO opisujesport i tjelesni odgoj kao temeljno pravo za sve ljude. Neupitna je vrijednostsporta i tjelesne aktivnosti za zdrav razvoj djeteta i zdrav život odrasla čovjeka.Socijalna dimenzija sporta nudi promicanje tolerancije, prihvaćanja i poštovanjasvih struktura društva, što se može smatrati temeljnim odrednicama građanskogodgoja. Program za održivi razvoj 2030. sadržava akcijski plan za globalni prosperitet,planet i čovječanstvo, a uloga je sporta u njemu opisana kao ključna uostvarivanju razvoja i mira te u promicanju tolerancije i poštovanja. Ovaj raddaje uvid u doprinos sporta i tjelesne aktivnosti kroz pregled milenijskih razvojnihciljeva, te promišlja o utjecaju sportskih aktivnosti na različite životne aspekte iističe njihove dobrobiti i nužnost njihova implementiranja u sve društvene sfere

Purpose: This paper explores the association between neighbourhood accessibility and the active living patterns (ALP) of children in urban India. Focusing on outdoor out-of-school physical activities (OOPA), mode of travel to school (MTS), mode of travel to the neighbourhood (MTN), and habitual active independent home range (HAIHR), it seeks to understand the relationship between active living and neighbourhood outdoor physical environment (OPE) during middle childhood.Methodology: Defining the variable within the framework of the ‘Adapted Ecological Model for Active Living in Urban Indian Children’, this study employed a cross-sectional quantitative method to examine two neighborhoods in Nagpur, India. The subjective data was collected from 43 in-person surveys of 8–12-year-old children and objective data was computed using GIS.Results: Children’s ALP had significant positive associations with built density, traffic exposure, parents’ perception of personal safety, neighbourhood physical activity (PA) environment, license for independent mobility (IM) and gender. Children’s OOPA was significantly positively correlated with built density, neighbourhood PA environment, motivation for PA, license for IM and gender. Children preferred active MTS to school if schools were close by and they had licenses for IM whereas their active MTN depended on parent’s positive perceptions of personal safety in the neighbourhood and permission for IM. Longer HAIHR was related to lesser traffic, licenses for IM and parents’ positive perceptions of neighbourhood safety.Conclusion: This study has identified several key neighbourhood OPE (density, traffic, parental safety concerns, PA environment), individual (gender, motivation), and interpersonal (license IM) correlates shaping urban children’s active living in India.
