In recent years we have seen an increase in sedentary behavior and a decrease in basic physical skills as well as fitness and motor skills for new members of our sports club. This problem has been confirmed by studies and statistics at national, European and world levels. In 2018, The Romanian Sportive Institute announced through a press release that Romania is on the second place in the EU on a sedentary lifestyle. According to the EC the number of people that don’t do sports is on the rise since 2013. The effects of a sedentary lifestyle are: obesity, negative effect on mental health, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and even death. According to Eurostat the proportion of overweight adults in the EU varied in 2014 between 36% in Italy and 55% in Malta for women and between 54% in the Netherlands and 68% in Croatia for men. The statistics for the partner countries of this project are Greece–57.2%, Romania–56.1%, France–49.5%, Cyprus–48.8%, Italy–45.35%, North Macedonia–N/A . According to the World Data Atlas, in North Macedonia the prevalence of male obesity was 22.6 % in 2016. Since the difference between the statistics is so large, we believe that they use different standards, which may not be relevant for comparison. However, the same statistic shows that the level of obesity increased substantially from 14.6 to 22.6% from 1997 to 2016. Unfortunately, this issue has been worsened by the Covid-19 Pandemic. According to Bonnet Cdrick T’s work “ Health Issues Due to the Global Prevalence of Sedentariness and Recommendations towards Achieving a Healthier Behaviour” published in the Healthcare Journal, the pandemic and the resulting structural changes in society (i.e., more teleworking, videoconferencing, and online shopping) have prompted people to become more sedentary. The 2022 Eurobarometer on sport and physical activity shows that with the start of the pandemic 34% of Europeans continued their sports routine, 34% decreased their practice frequency, and 18% stopped practicing sports completely. The same Eurobarometer shows the proportions of people ‘Never or seldom’ exercising or playing sports: 80% (RO), 77% (GR), 66% (IT), 60%(CY), 58% (FR), N/A (NM), 61% (EU). To decrease the above numbers, it is necessary to inform and educate the young people to take care of their health and create a habit of doing physical activities regularly. Besides the benefits of physical activity on physical health, MRI scans of the brains of sedentary people who have suddenly improved their fitness show increased volume in the hippocampus and frontal and temporal lobes, the regions of the brain associated with cognitive functioning (The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain - John J. Ratey). FUEL aimed to increase the number of youngsters that lead an active lifestyle from our local communities. The objectives of the project, among the 38 youngsters and our organizations, were: 1. Increasing knowledge of the importance of doing sports; 2. Increasing the level of self-discipline; 3. Increasing the number of members in our organizations with 5 youngsters; 4. Increasing the partner organization’s knowledge on tackling the issue. Organizing this project gave our organization (Asociatia Clubul Sportiv Kyodai) the chance to share the knowledge we have learned throughout the years with the young people and our partners, but also to see how our methods can be applied to people with different cultural backgrounds. Widening our area of understanding helped us improve our activities. This project’s secondary focus was to promote diversity on all levels. The desegregation of the project’s beneficiaries, through their mix, aimed in the long term to eliminate prejudices and to increase tolerance and acceptance.
