Abstract: Abstract:In the process of mental education for a healthy life, a particularly important role is played by body activities and the extend to which we are able to implement these activities in the academic programme of students in order to raise their interest. It is widely acknowledged that body activities go beyond P.E. domain, but they are connected with it because P.E. is a component of general education and it has as a main purpose the development of physical, psychical, sociocultural qualities of a person. Therefore, P.E. represents an important part of general education, being an act of culture over years and an emancipation method with a pedagogical content. Purpose. From the instructive-educative point of view, P.E. is a bilateral process in which, under the specialists' management, the students are systematically under influences that are permanently in agreement with educational objectives, especially with those of physical, psychomotor and psychical i!
mprovement. This is why in the present reasearch we have oriented towards a methodology design which will be the basis of teaching in the P.E. lesson and it will help students to understand the educational benefits given by exercising. Methods. The respondents are students of the Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti, in number of 200 subjects, distributed in the research as following: we had an Experiment Group (G.E. – 100 subjects) and a Control Group (G.C. – 100 subjects) to demonstrate the importance of the chosen topic, but also the hypothesis. We prepared a special program, different from the classical approach, and we started to teach the students on these basis, watching the impact of the independent variable. Results. The students' mentality regarding physical activities as a mirror to education, may be changed through the introduction of sports activities which can induce a state of pleasure, and not a psychological and physical discomfort, triggered by competi!
tion and marks. Physical activities, thus becoming a necessity, a piec
e of education for motion taught in school which may be transmitted to future generation as well. Conclusions. The scientific research regarding the problem „The students' mentality from the Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Electronics regarding the role and importance of physical activities in the process of education for a healthy life. The Students' Mentality from the Petroleum-Gas University – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Electronics Regarding the Status and the Importance of Physical Activities in the Education for a Healthy Life has been studied little in our country and that is why I have chosen this theme, like a necessity, having as the main purpose refreshing the domain with new information and launching new discussions regarding this theme.
