Abstract

Studies examining the relationship between health and sports show an increasing interest in uncovering the connections between health behavior and lifestyle. This article reviews factors determining individuals' physical and mental well-being, with particular focus on the situation of the Roma minority in Europe. Drawing from multiple sources, the analysis presents the health status, lifestyle habits, and factors influencing sports habits among Roma populations. Additionally, the study highlights projects supporting the integration of Roma communities through sports. Findings from the research indicate that Roma communities are more likely to face health issues and often have lower levels of physical activity. The abstract sheds light on various factors limiting sports opportunities for Roma children, including economic hardships, cultural norms, and discrimination. Nevertheless, it emphasizes the crucial role of sports and physical activity in maintaining health and social integration.
