Physical activity has been proven to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases as cancer and diabetes, enjoying therefore a crucial importance not only for the wellbeing of the individuals but also from the perspective of societal health. According to WHO data, more than 80% of the World’s population in insufficiently physically active. The combined effect of insufficient physical activities and improper food consumption patterns has been qualified as a challenge to global health by the WHO.
