“…Furthermore, a reduction in the need for daily medication was reported by the children who were regularly engaged in physical activity, again in agreement with previous reports [ 11 ]. Moreover, among physically inactive children with asthma, others also have reported poorer quality of life [ 65 ].…”

Physical activity is an especially important part of everyday life for children with chronic diseases. The aim of the study was to show whether asthma is a barrier to physical activity in our society. The correlations between the severity of the disease, body mass index, and physical activity were analyzed, and parents’ opinions on whether children should participate in active sports were assessed. Physical activity of children with asthma was analyzed by questionnaires; 93 parents and their 93 children were involved in the survey. The age of children was 12.6 ± 3.5 years (mean ± SD), 69.9% were boys, 30.1% were girls. A total of 93.4% of the respondents participated in a physical education program and 56.5% also attended sporting activities on a regular basis. In terms of disease severity, 61.2% of the children had mild asthma, 37.6% moderate, and 1.2% severe, and 6.5% of the respondents also stated that their children’s illness had been consistently or frequently limiting their performance concerning their school or home duties over the past four weeks. Of the parents surveyed, 12% felt that physical activity was not appropriate in the context of this disease. We concluded that fear of the consequences of physical activity depends largely on education, which should involve parents, teachers, and coaches.

“…Based on subjective methods of assessment, Gianfrancesco et al [12] observed that 26% of children with asthma were classified as 'inactive' vs. 14% of children without asthma, when utilising the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Likewise, Preftoulido et al [20] reported that only 3% of children with asthma meet 'satisfactory' activity levels (86% classified as sedentary) according to the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire.…”

“…However, it is important to acknowledge that a significant portion of the population, particularly in highly developed countries, lack sufficient physical activity and instead have sedentary lifestyles [19]. These sedentary habits, combined with improper eating habits, or even mental illnesses, contribute to childhood diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and asthma [20][21][22]. On the contrary, engaging in nautical activities such as sailing increases students' confidence and competence, key personal and interpersonal skills, life-specific skills, specific navigation skills, physical fitness, and overall mental well-being [23].…”

Introduction: The implementation of nautical sports, particularly in coastal areas, during the school stage is a growing phenomenon. It offers unique opportunities for students to develop the necessary competencies outlined in their physical education curriculum in an immersive manner, within a natural and inherently motivating environment. Material and methods: This study aims to delve deeper into this subject by conducting a systematic review of the utilization of water sports in formal education. To carry out this bibliographic search, the following keywords were employed: “Nautical Activities”, “Nautical Sports”, “Nautical Camps”, “Formal Education”, “Children Education”, “Primary School”, and “Secondary School”. The Boolean operator “and” was used to combine these keywords during the search conducted in databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus. The PRISMA Protocol was utilized for the search process, resulting in the selection and categorization of eight papers into the following thematic areas: Wellbeing, Physical and Mental Health, Education, and Management. Results: The primary findings of this review indicate that the inclusion of these programs within physical education classes enhances overall physical health, mental well-being, and personal development. Conclusions: The results demonstrate a positive impact on peer interaction and short-term improvement in self-confidence.
