Training kit on physical activities and their relationship to prisoners' health
Health is considered to be a state of physical, mental and social well-being and adequacy, not merely the absence of disease and disability. Health is one of the most important things a person must preserve, for it is the most precious thing they own in their life, and it grants a person the vital processes for all the functions of their body, since maintaining physical health requires the body's organs to work together. A person who has sound physical health enjoys energy, determination and strength, for it is a lifestyle through which a person aims to enjoy a high level of well-being in life.
