Abstract

Mass wellness practices are different forms of physical activity aimed at large groups of people with a holistic impact. Fitball classes build the skills and habits of practitioners to effectively use exercise and sport in their everyday lives. Recreational wellness programs are effective practices with high social and educational impact. Mass education in the school sports system has its value related to proper physical development and health enhancement of the "golden fund of the nation - children" with a chance for a dignified and fulfilling life. Physical skills are of great educational value, with the fitball program providing tremendous functional benefits to the general health status of its practitioners. This paper establishes the attitudes and activity levels of students in Fitball groups.
