摘要:The purpose of this present research was to find out the correlation between the perception of quality of life (QL) and physical/sports activity (P/Sa) in youths (girls: n = 412; 18.43 ? 1.5 yrs; boys: n = 520; 18.51 ? 1.72 yrs) in Slovenia. The subjects were asked to evaluate the quality of their life (QL) (excellent, very good, good, poor, very poor) and to fill in other variables regarding the economic indicators of their families, the tidiness of the family environment, leisure activities, level of overnourishment and some motor abilities. In a further analysis we investigated the differences between two extreme groups, according to their self-rated QL (very good - excellent as one extremity and poor - very poor as the other one). In the case of the subjects who declared to have poor quality of life (PQL) a lack of interest emerges for sports engagement. They show substantially worse results in the trunk-raising test (TR) as well as in the 600m-running test (T600m) than the subjects who declared to have a good quality of life (GQL) (P = 0.05). These findings point out a need for a holistic treatment of the problem. Everyone involved in the promotion, stimulation, organization and management of P/Sa contents must reflect upon these findings.
