Summary/Abstract: Physical inactivity is a major public health concern, not just in western countries, but also in emergent ones. Vulnerable sectors associated with the lowest levels of leisure time activity include those with low levels of education and income. There are limited theory-based qualitative studies exploring participation in physical activity and sport. As any effective health promotion necessitates an understanding of target populations, we adopt an integrative research approach, to obtain more relations between variables and detailed information. First, we present the study focused on sport integration in lifestyle, the relation between the quality of life and physical exercises, and between objective and subjective well-being and sport practice. The subject of sport and physical exercise in determining individual and social well-being is extremely up-to-date, especially for Romanian society that faces various problems, the responsibility for these being seen as both individual and structural, i.e. economic-political and social-cultural.
