Abstract: Hiking is part of outdoor activities and, at the same time, is a way of doing physical education. It is an extracurricular activity, playing a major formative role for the young generation. It favorably influences the development of the individual’s physical appearance, especially by increasing aerobic endurance and by causing positive changes in the cardiovascular system. It also influences in a positive way the individual’s psychic health, by favorably acting upon some psychic phenomena like: will, courage, motivation, sociability, thinking, etc. Taking these aspects into consideration, we think that those involved in the shaping of the young generation should pay more attention to hiking.
