Introduction. Currently, the crises triggered by the pandemic, in the fields of health, freedom of movement, economic, with impact in the social and cultural spheres, bring back today the practical applicability of the concepts of fitness and wellness. Material and method. In our study we will refer to the effects of the pandemic on health (everyone's well-being), to see how they accentuated the negative effects of the risks that specialists linked to sedentary lifestyle; increased stress; static anti-physiological positions for prolonged periods of time, which result in cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and even cancer, to which is added an irrational diet. We will also refer to the relationship between the quality of life of people and the need to find the most effective ways to combat the negative effects of risk factors, by overcoming the obstacles posed by the financial situation and cultural patterns both in terms of lifestyle, as well as the eating behavior of people from different backgrounds. Results and discussions. We are of the opinion that specialists must go in their approaches, from the cultural understanding of man, to find ways to individualize the means of intervention so as to achieve the proposed objectives. The framework could be, for children and adolescents - the reorganization of school physical education, and for young people and adults - leisure activities, in which the emphasis could be falls on the concepts of Fitness and Wellness, with a beneficial effect on quality of life and personal satisfaction. Conclusion In this context, we believe that it is necessary to reconsider the need to make the population aware of the formation of a healthy lifestyle. The means could be physical fitness, wellness, rational nutrition and recovery according to the effort made, their benefits can have a major impact on health and prolong life expectancy.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the relationship among leisure activities, depression, and quality of life of community-dwelling elderly in Korea. Methods: We assessed 100 community-dwelling older adults. Leisure participation and leisure exploration were assessed by using the leisure participation for the elderly. Depression was measured using the Korean version of the Short Form of Geriatric Depression Scale, and quality of life was assessed using EQ-5D. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent-sample t test, the chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results: EQ-5D scores of the depression group were significantly higher ( p < .01). Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and EQ-5D scores showed a significant correlation with leisure participation and leisure exploration. Furthermore, leisure satisfaction was a significant factor in depressive symptoms (β = -.320, p < .01). There was a significant correlation between depression or quality of life and leisure activities corresponding to games, social activities, cultural activities, outings, and information and communication. Conclusion: This study showed that leisure participation and leisure exploration of the elderly were significantly related to depression and quality of life. Social, emotional, active, and productive activities were the leisure activities that positively affected depression and quality of life.

The scientific problem of economics “Managing the quality of human life” is formulated on the basis of artificial intelligence, algebra of logic and logical-probabilistic calculus. Managing the quality of human life is represented by managing the processes of his treatment, training and decision making. Events in these processes and the corresponding logical variables relate to the behavior of a person, other persons and infrastructure. The processes of the quality of human life are modeled, analyzed and managed with the participation of the person himself. Scenarios and structural, logical and probabilistic models of managing the quality of human life are given. Special software for quality management is described. The relationship of human quality of life and the digital economy is examined. We consider the role of public opinion in the management of the “bottom” based on the synthesis of many studies on the management of the economics and the state. The bottom management is also feedback from the top management.
