“…A mérsékelten erőteljes fizikai aktivitás előnyösen hat a serdülők fizikai, szellemi és pszicho-szociális egészségére, mivel segíti az egészséges csontok és izmok építését és fenntartását, csökkenti a depresszió és a szorongás érzését (JANSSEN és LEBLANC, 2010;SINGH et al, 2012).…”

A Healthy nutrition and a regular exercise are two important pillars of healthy lifestyle. Several researches point out that significant part of the population has incomplete knowledge regarding these topics. The Hungarian population is characterized by unhealthy eating habits and low level of regular exercise, which together result in a high obesity rate and poor health status among the Hungarians. Besides these, another unfavourable fact is the sedentary lifestyle: adults spend more than 5 hours a day in sitting position on average. The Hungarians' daily physical activity is only 70% of the recommendations, and we only spend 10 minutes a day doing sports. Vegetables and fruits are important ingredients of a healthy and balanced diet, the consumption rate of which is quite low in several European countries including Hungary. In our article we present the main characteristics and contexts of healthy nutrition and physical activity. In addition, we analyze a nutrition research activity which can be an important basis for integrative strategies. Based on secondary research, we present research results that demonstrate the protective effects of vegetable and fruit consumption connected to various diseases. Furthermore, we present the unfavorable tendencies of vegetable and fruit consumption of the European and Hungarian population, and we make suggestions in order to improve the unfavourable circumstances and indicators. We also focus on the socio-ecological model of the nutrition guideline, the levels of which significantly affect our habits related to nutrition and physical activity.

“…For the good predictive accuracy there were few researches which used decision tree algorithms and data mining [8], [1] and [15]. The impact of extracurricular activities to the student studies performance were vital to making an own method to calculate extracurricular performance according to the most effective factors in this implemented system [5] and [9].…”

Learning one"s own strengths and weaknesses is essential when making important life decisions; especially for students that are obliged to make decisions about what path they are to persuade leading them to a carrier path without regret. Today most of the students do not have a proper understanding of their own talents, abilities or how they can accomplish their future goals. The system mentioned in this research paper provides a solution by helping grade 10 and 11 local students to learn about their own strengths and weaknesses thus guiding them when making important decisions about what paths to follow in the future and what aspect they need to improve on. Students" past performances, logical thinking and other attributes were taken into consideration to provide an accurate and comprehensible output depicting their weaknesses and strengths. Moreover, the output was analysed and used to aid teachers when dividing student groups inside the classroom for cooperative group activities. An intelligent system driven by algorithms to support logical and cooperative grouping strategies that uses statistical analysis and output analysis along with an online quiz for students to learn their logical thinking skills were used to produce the expected output. Information about extracurricular activities were collected from a selected group of 50 students using a questionnaire that had being analysed by the research group. Patterns of students" scoring were analysed to predict the score the same student would gain in the future using data mining methods and tools. Sisu Manthalawa is a web application that can help the local students to make decisions thus helping them stride towards a better future.
