Abstract :

Analysis, based on publications and scientific research of Lithuanian and foreign authors, presents the realia of health status and physical activity of young people. Scientific evidence has become compelling that sedentary lifestyle carries a risk for the development of coronary artery diseases, obesity, hypertension and other chronic diseases of adulthood. This article introduces the basic health–promoting activities and the Project “February – the month of Fitness“ implemented in Vilnius Jonas Basanavičius gymnasium. It is being organised for five years and involves all members of school society, guests and members of various educational institutions and non-governmental organizations. Guest from „ECO point“ and Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine took part in seminars and events organised during the projects. Those, who wanted to avoid heart and coronary artery diseases, were introduced to a booklet „The code of healthy European“. Consequently, in order to reinforce physical education also one of the key subjects at school is constantly looking for various ways to meet the student`s innate need to move, experience the joy of movement and to provide more opportunities through sports events and other projects. Indeed, it is aimed to involve the entire school community in this activity. Interest in physical activity is developed through socialisation and communication.
