SPORTS VOLUNTEERING AS A WAY TO ATTRACT STUDENTS TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Abstract

The life of modern student youth is a very significant stage at the personality formation path. On the other hand, this life period carries stressful situations, because when students enter higher education institutions, they have more freedom, which in turn confronts them with bad habits, such as drinking alcoholic beverages, taking narcotic substances, smoking, and lack of mobility. Such negative factors entail a negative trend in the development of the younger generation health, which affects their healthy lifestyle. In order to avoid self-destruction, as well as for the sake of preserving and strengthening the health of students in higher educational institutions, it is necessary to attract students to volunteer activities and through this, the latter, to form their representatives’ ideas about a healthy lifestyle through sports volunteering.
