Abstract: The concept of “creativity was recorded under various names such as: inspiration, talent, giftedness, genius, imagination or fantasy. Creativity is not about being receptive to novelty, but first, creating the new. In physical activities creativity is present when we decide and act in fraction of a second to solve a moment in game, or to combine some technical elements in an innovative way. The creative imagination has an important part in sports with an artistic component: first we prepare our exercises structures mentally, the execution models, possible chaining and sequence of elements are all in our mind and all are contributing to complement and enrich existing motor and expressive skills. Physical activities have resources of creativity improving in an enjoyable, healthy and stimulating context. Creativity is the recombination of concepts that existed or still exist in the human mind, hidden in the subconscious and which could be activated as needed. Creativity seems to be more developed in people who regularly participate in physical activities. It is widely known that innovation cannot exist without creativity. Creativity and intelligence are very rare qualities, sought in all areas of activity, being very well reworded. Therefore we believe this topic is very present in the research field, that it opens new research perspectives and the statement that physical activities stimulate creativity and represent a manner of lifelong training-learning. Because is never too early to implement a healthy life style and a creative educational environment we recommend the initiation of physical education classes even since preschool.
