Abstract
The quality of life is a wide spread concept which essentially handles the overall prosperity within society, the importance of it increasing starting with the 1970s, together with the social studies research. An European poll concerning the quality of life in Europe (2003-2007), performed by the European Life and Work Condition Improvement Foundation, noted the existence of some major differences between countries and social groups, as far as numerous aspects of quality of life are concerned. Thus, we can see that social groups with a below average quality of life must progress in a faster pace than the leader groups. In Romania, based on a general evaluation, we can state that the quality of life level is a modest one, this statement being the more valid as we take into consideration the economic standard - from macro-economic indicators of living standards (GDP/capita, Finances available to the population) and average income/household to life expectancy at birth indexes (Mărginean, I., 2010, pp. 231-237). The main component of the quality of life, health, can be maintained and improved by performing sports activities, where the main element is performing workouts, which, applied on a long term, improves the physical and mental health, having a positive contribution on the learning and personal development processes and to reducing the risk of physical and psychological conditions associated with the modern lifestyle.

Summary
We live in a society dominated by sedentary life, stress and aggressiveness, in a world where leisure sports activities are not performed, as they should, a world where chronic diseases, diseases of the heart and circulatory system, pulmonary diseases, as well as joint and bone pains are predominant. The majority of the world’s population do not perform sports activities, because they are not informed about the benefits that these activities have over the human body, do not know and are not aware that performing them systematically and regularly can lead to an improvement of life quality. The improvement of the quality of life represents the choosing and implementing of the most efficient solutions, and improvement of one’s self. We have to stay away from daily stress, this being a risk factor in developing some forms of cancer
