Introduction The concept of free time has evolved over the centuries according to various socially organized models. Thus, it was found that mankind has always enjoyed a certain type of leisure organization, various forms and activities of organization. Objective The study aims to identify a concept of physical education for free time, stimulating the desire to exercise, developing the spirit of initiative, ensuring continuity in the practice of motor activities. Methods Major benefits of web-based questionnaires and surveys are that they do not require the administration of materials in person, are accessible world-wide, and are therefore available cross-culturally. Results A majority of the subjects (68.5%) view a healthy diet as “very important” for a sport point of view. If we were to couple this with the “important” answer to this question we would find that a vast majority (94.4%) view diet and nutrition as a key component of physical activity. Conclusions Leisure physical activity helps for a healthy lifestyle, regardless of the profession you practice. Through this paper we intend to create a guide in the practice of physical leisure activities and to help in their practice. Nevertheless, many different types of exercise have been shown to be beneficial, including aerobic training, resistance or strength training, walking, hopping, swimming, aquatic exercise, as well as exercises to improve flexibility and balance for a healthy lifestyle.
