RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 La importancia de las experiencias positivas y placenteras en la promoción de la actividad física orientada hacia la salud A1 Vaquero Barba, Angela A1 Garai Ibáñez de Elejalde, Beatriz A1 Ruiz de Arcaute Graciano, Javier A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid AB This article presents a qualitative research in the field of promoting health-oriented physical activity. The targets of the study were, first, to identify the practices of physical activity and the relational and environmental contexts in which positive feelings of pleasure and wellness are experienced; along these lines, second, to know the demands made by participants in such health-oriented physical activity programs. Personal life stories and semi-structured interviews have been the instruments used to collect data. Analysis carried out has identified as satisfactory practice that which provided a sense of personal well-being. It also drew the attention to some questions to be raised to the institutions that promote health-oriented physical activity programs; questions concerning the need that such programs should be implemented in a more natural environment, should pay more attention to the process (as opposed to the result), should stimulate higher interaction among participants, should be more flexible in their organization and should be supervised by qualified personnel.
