Sports and Fitness - a Body-Soul »Problem«?

Journal/Book: Natur- und Ganzheitsmedizin Wissenschaft und Praxis. 1992; 5/2: 50-52.

Abstract: » Fitness means being well adapted or suited. The German word »Glück« (happiness) has the same underlying meaning - it is derived from Middle High German »Gelücke« which in the language of joiners means the exact fitting of two boards. Moderate training of the staying-power also trains the immunological system and makes it »fit« in stimulating the »adaption« of antigen and antibody. Sexuality, too, plays such a role - it is also determined by fitting together. What is also underestimated in its importance for the harmony between body and soul is a sense of humour.
