Modern technology, the virtual world, is taking up more and more space in our lives and, unfortunately, keeps us captive more and more in closed spaces, in front of computers, at work or at home. The so-called computer sports have nothing to do with real sports, and parents who are overly protective, more and more often save their children from the effort of physical education classes. The phenomenon of weight gain should not be neglected, the statistical data show that there are more and more young people and overweight adults, which is also an alarm signal for the young generation. Researchers in the field of sports psychology have a key role to play, not only in shaping specific concepts and methodologies, but also in bringing to society's attention Juvenal's famous saying: "Mens sana in corpore sano" (Junius Junevalis). Statistics show that the time spent in front of the computers increases as the child grows, and the time spent outdoors decreases as he gets older. But worryingly, during the holiday season, children end up spending up to 10 hours a day in front of the computer or the TV. For various reasons, children prefer to stay indoors at the expense of outdoor activities. Physical education plays a special role in the process of formation and development of the child's personality. The specialists in the psycho-pedagogical field recognize the formative valences in biological, motor, psychic and social plan of this discipline. Unfortunately, the low level of education in Romanian society, but also the financial difficulties often lead to the rejection or neglect of the need to practice daily physical exercises. Most of the time it is due to lack of time or financial difficulties.
