INTRODUCTION:-

The importance of role of Wellness Life Style as a determinant to the human behavior and critical factor of personality is increasingly realized. In terms of how a person perceives himself, what he thinks of himself, how he attempts through various actions to enhance or defend himself. Further the concept may be identified in terms of personality traits. It is compared to such elements as perceptions of ones characteristics and abilities, the percepts and concepts of the self in relation to others and to environment, the value qualities which are perceived as associated with expenses and objects and the goals and ideals which are perceived as having positive or negative aspects. A physical educator plays an important role in enhancing a sportsmen and non-sportsmen Wellness Life Style. There is a highly positive relationship between self-concept and physical achievement. As the individual learns to move more skill fully, he or she also tends to develop as stronger Wellness Life Style. Achieving or maintaining wellness could be determined by individual awareness and ability to measure states of health including mental health,

physical activity, nutritional intake, fiscal responsibility, productivity, as well as emergency preparedness and avoiding common pitfalls. Wellness can also be described as a state that combines health and happiness. Thus, those factors that contribute to being healthy and happy will also likely contribute to being well. Factors that contribute to health and happiness have long been recognized, at least since the time of Ancient Greeks. To achieve a state of wellness, one has to work on its determinations. The determinations of wellness are often considered to be: awareness and the initiative to improve one‘s state of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, environment, social and/ or occupational health.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

Li Gladys Shuk-Fong, J.H. Frank Lu9, et al (2009) Conduct study on ―Exploring the Relationships of Physical Activity, Emotional Intelligence and Health in Taiwan College Students‖. The benefits of physical activity (PA) on health are well documented. However, inactivity among university student is

psychological mechanism responsible for behaviour change that may be associated with the low levels of effectiveness of PA interventions. The purpose of these study were: (1) to compare EI, health-related physical fitness (HRPF) and health-related quality of life (HRQL) for the different level of PA in Taiwan College Students; (2) to explore the predictability of PA levels, HRQL, and HRPF toward EI. A total of 599 Taiwan College Students were assessed utilizing HRPF measurement, and two questionnaire including the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (EO-I) and the Medical Outcomes study 36- items short-form Health Survey (MOS SF-36). College participants who reported a recommended level of PA scored significantly higher than their insufficient and inactive counterparts in EI, and some measures of HRQL and HRPF. The variable of ―physical activity‖, ―mental health‖, ―gender‖, ―social function‖, and ―flexibility‖ were found to be the best linear combination to significantly (p<0.05) predicts the EI of Taiwan College of students. It was concluded that participation in PA might be an effective way to improve the physical, psychological, as well emotional health of college students. Thus, the importance of increasing exercise participation at the college level should be reinforced and implemented. The finding provides a basic for research aimed at determining the casual relationship between EI and PA. A Sidige. Washi, B Maha. Ageib (2010) Conduct study on ―Poor diet quality and food habits are related to impaired nutritional status in 13-to 18- year-old adolescents in Jaddah‖ In recent two decades, diets have changed rapidly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) because the Western diet is replacing the traditional Arabic diet. This has resulted in an alarming increase in the number of overweight and obese children and adolescents in KSA. It is well documented that lifestyle is strongly with the development of obesity. Nevertheless, this remains to be demonstrated in adolescents from a rapidly developing country in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia. This study tested the hypothesis that the new current dietary habits are related to the increase in overweight and obese Saudi Arabian adolescents. In 2006, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 239 adolescent (13-18 year old) who were selected by cluster sampling from schools in Jeddah, KSA. The nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric and biochemical parameters at the Saudi German Hospital Group, Jeddah. Dietary habits were evaluated by a 3-day dietary recall (food diary) and food frequency questionnaire. The mean age of the participants was 15.5_+2.5 years. The mean body mass index was 27.43_+4.61 kg/m. A total of 44.6% of the adolescents were overweight, and 56.6%, 30.5% and 13.0% of energy from carbohydrates, fat, and proteins, respectively. Compared with the Dietary Reference Intake, carbohydrate and fat intakes were higher, and calcium, iron, and zinc intakes were lower. Higher summary, increased weight status of 13 to 18 years old Saudi adolescent was related to their inadequate dietary habits. This indicates the importance of rapidly promoting a healthier lifestyle among Saudi Arabian adolescents. Davorka Vrdoljad, Bergman Morkovie et al (2014) conduct study on ―lifestyle intervention in general practice for physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption and diet in elderly: A randomized controlled trial ―The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of programmed and intensified intervention on life style changes, including physical activity, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and diet, in patient aged _>65 with the usual care of general practitioners (GP). In this multicentre randomized controlled trial, 738 patient aged >65were randomly assigned to receive intensified intervention (N=371) or usual care (N=367) of a GP for lifestyle changes, with 18-month follow-up. The main outcome measures were physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption and diet. The study was conducted in 59 general practices in Croatia between May 2008 and May 2010. The patients mean age was 72.3+5.2 years. Signification diet correction was achieved after 18-mounth follow-up in the intervention group, comparing was controls. More patients followed strictly Mediterranean diet and consumed healthy foods more frequently. There was no significant difference between the groups in physical activity, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption or diet after the intervention. In conclusion, an 18-month intensified GP‘s intervention had limited effect on lifestyle habits. GP intervention managed to change dietary habits in elderly population, which is encouraging since elderly population is very resistant regarding lifestyle habit change.
