Abstract

The aim of this study is to give a meaningful analysis of physical activity consolidating to its advantages on mental health and prosperity undertakings. Aspects of mental prosperity analyzed in the context of general prosperity with specific reference to self-recognition have enabled us to highlight the connection between physical activity, mental prosperity, well-being and self-discernment. We have also looked at the alternation between physical activity and selfobservation: we outline their strong association. Finally, segment factors, namely age, sex and socio-economic status, are contemplated to reveal how they impact on prosperity when these are looked at together with physical exercise. We analyse the effect these factors may have on one's self discernment as well as the utilization of physical exercise as an applied intercession to forestall negative mental prosperity. Last but not least, given the importance of good mental health for young people too, we stress its importance for them and how it can be maintained through physical activity; for mental health should be addressed in the educational curriculum, should be monitored by specialists in our educational communities and should be taken into consideration when students sit important summative assessments.
