Physical and sports activities, university life and free time management for the promotion of well-being in Learning Cities

This paper investigates the theme of Learning Cities in relation to university life, physical and sports activities and the management of university students' free time. The main objective is to highlight the role of universities as learning and relationship communities that promote well-being. To this end, an exploratory survey was conducted on 151 students of the degree course: Primary Teacher Education, 96.7% women, with an age ranging between 23 and 53 years (M = 28.35, SD = 6.213). The results show the typicality of a student population that is largely already integrated into the world of work and therefore experiences the complexity of active attendance, collective study and participation in university social life. In light of these peculiarities, participants expressed interest in a wide variety of physical and recreational activities, both individual and team, suggesting that initiatives by the University can increase active involvement in university life.
