Sự phát triển của môn thể thao thời trung cổ này, ban đầu được chơi bằng tay không, giống như phát minh ra cây vợt vào thế kỷ 16 và hệ thống tính điểm đặc biệt (15, 30, 40, game) trực tiếp dẫn đến sự ra đời của môn quần vợt, bao gồm tên của nó, từ từ “tenez!” trong tiếng Pháp (có nghĩa là “đang tới đây!”) mà bạn nói với đối thủ của mình khi bạn chuẩn bị phát bóng.

Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy. Health promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviours and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities. Defined by the World Health Organization, health promotion is: “The process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.”
Disease prevention differs from health promotion because it focuses on specific efforts aimed at reducing the development and severity of chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Wellness is related to health promotion and disease prevention. Wellness is described as the attitudes and active decisions made by an individual that contribute to positive health behaviours and outcomes.
Health promotion and disease prevention programs often address social determinants of health, which influence modifiable risk behaviours. Social determinants of health are the economic, social, cultural, and political conditions in which people are born, grow, and live that affect health status. Modifiable risk behaviours include, for example, tobacco use, poor eating habits, and lack of physical activity, which contribute to the development of chronic disease.
