    [abstract] => Physical activity has increasingly become a significant contributor to both personal well-being and national economic stability. Regular engagement in structured fitness programs enhances physical health, mental alertness, and emotional balance, leading to broader social and economic advantages. This study investigates how consistent participation in community-based exercise programs promotes preventive healthcare outcomes, reduces lifestyle-related diseases, and consequently lowers healthcare costs. Individuals who maintain regular physical activity experience fewer hospital visits, decreased dependency on medication, and improved immunity, ultimately contributing to healthcare savings at both personal and institutional levels.
Beyond health benefits, the study also examines the connection between physical fitness and workplace performance. Employees with active lifestyles tend to exhibit higher productivity, reduced absenteeism, and stronger interpersonal collaboration. These outcomes lead to measurable economic gains, as healthier workers contribute more effectively to organizational goals and reduce the financial strain of health-related absences on employers. The research emphasizes the importance of adopting wellness-oriented initiatives that integrate movement, motivation, and social engagement to sustain long-term participation and behavioural change.
The aim of the researchers is to highlight the economic and organizational implications of physical activity by demonstrating its dual impact—improving public health while simultaneously enhancing workforce productivity.
