Abstract
The biggest problem of modern lifestyle is the lack of physical activity of most people, which is in an inferior position compared to the problems of sport and the adoption of intellectual knowledge in the fi eld of education. Sports results imposed primary objectives by the media as, have led to various anomalies that are associated with use of illicit stimulants, injuries that result from major physical effort, enormous profits of individual athletes, violence in and around sports grounds. However, such irregularities are not present to the extent that they should provoke as much anxiety as problems concerning the lack of physical activity that is far more present as researches show, and with far greater consequences for human health, as explained in this paper. Informing by the media has created an impression that the true values of sport as well as the true values of recreational sport and physical education are concealed, which is particularly refl ected in the fi eld of education, where a greater importance is given to mental activity. Research related to the benefi t of physical exercise indicated the necessity of paying greater attention to the body. Only by balanced evaluation of the mind and body we can talk about the complete development, and in that aspect, about the proper way of life of modern man.
