This paper aims to highlight the beneficial effects of motor activities on the personality of the students. So we started from the assumption that motor activities have effects on personality sphere on five levels: sociability and social integration, anxiety, sensation seeking, the level of aggression and activity level. We formed two samples of students (N = 25), the experimental group, with 12 girls and 13 boys, and the control group, 11 girls and 14 boys, both groups having children aged between 9 and 10 years. At the control group, we followed the curriculum and at the experimental group we used a training program that included with priority playful and agonistic means with dynamic games, stage races, games and sports competitions. After applying the programs differentiated on the two groups we found using the Zuckerman-Kuhlman personality questionnaire, that students from the experimental group had a better level of sociability and social integration, low levels of anxiety, and that they are not so attracted of the new experiences, have a low level of aggressiveness and increased activity levels compared to the control group. Keywords: motor activities, personality, socialization, social integration; Introduction Sport and physical education and sport can be considered very important tools of socialization and therefore any state bears a great responsibility to promote and develop those [1]. Another important contribution of the motor activities is their socializing role, demonstrated by many researchers from different fields saying that these activities represent the perfect framework in the social development process of young people [2]. Socialization through sport is a process of social integration through communication, understanding, and cooperation, with an interactive role for conflict resolution. Therefore, is structured on cognitive constructions, affective, and motivational as well as on representations, behaviors and performance of sports groups [3]. Also, sporting activities develop communication, intergroup relationships, and group cohesion. Motor activities can develop group cohesion positive intergroup relationships development, the discovery of group leader and most importantly integrate and reintegrate children into the social group. Group cohesion is very important in the evolution of school performance as a group, therefore in collectives where we have sympathy and positive relationships, work efficiency is high [4]. Motor activity is a component of active life, an "important link of lifestyle that generates the motion, according to their own options, several times a week, move that would make pleasure to consume energy and produce satisfaction" [5]. Related to physical education and its effects on group cohesion experts say the following: "Physical education can also improve the cohesion of groups having a good cohesion of the group is considered important and may lead to better performance. The relationship between cohesion and performance has been studied by many specialists, the majority concluded that "the connection between performance and group cohesion is mutual" [6]. Groups or successful teams are built around strong leaders and the importance of this role is growing in the nowadays sport in all categories [7]. Situational factors are important for the cohesion like leaving close to each other, sharing the same hobbies and activities, the same uniforms or clothing, group rituals etc. [8]. Lot ofaptitudesare taught by young people with the help of team sports, one of them iseven the competition. Nowadays we encounter competition every day and in every field. As adults we encounter competition when we look for a job or trying to find better jobs, at school children encounter competition for notes [9].
