This study aims to investigate the reasons why an individual joins regular physical sports activities. This is a qualitative case study which rises from the interest in inherent aspects of a specific situation. The instrument used for data collection was an interview. Considering the analysis and interpretation of the collected data, we have concluded that: (1) the practice of physical sports activities may be associated with reasons which are not shown, that is, with impulses which remain unclear; (2) the individual practices physical sports activities regularly, because by doing so they feel more aware of their limits, their power, their aesthetics; (3) the regular practice of such activities is associated with the identification with varied physical sports activities; (4) the subject practices such activities regularly, as this practice is associated with a healthy medication, since moving the body means playing with the body; (5) the individual practices physical sports activities regularly because the qualities of the imagination are comforting to them, the illusion shelters him and makes him move forward.
