Abstract

The present article refers to the connection between health and physical education, especially with the emergence of non-communicable diseases that are currently associated with physical education, such as, strokes due to sedentary lifestyle, obesity, use of tobacco and lack of physical activity. Another aspect to be treated in this approach is the link throughthe definitions and terms, even though this may lead to dealing with a complex terminology and difficult argumentation. The article concludes with the presentation of the benefits provided by exercising the body.
