| Abstract. | Unfortunately, in the 21st century, technology, modern society, and industrialization of work processes have only reduced the physical activity of people with adverse consequences on the whole body. As a consequence, the people's diet has become chaotic, inadequate, the prolonged adoption of vicious office positions favors fat growth, the decondition syndrome or hypokinetic syndrome, and obesity, which, to the surprise of many, affects the young population not only the adult, and for many people practicing physical exercise as a leisure activity has reached at the bottom’s priorities list. |
