      Essential component of life, movement and derived from this exercise consists in a true source of health, their recommended practice in early childhood is up to deep old age.

     Originally designed in the family, under the supervision of parents, then at school, physical education lessons or extracurricular sports activities, physical training is closely correlated with those of the intellectual process of training effectiveness is conditioned by judicious alternation of hours of intense intellectual and practical application, as exercise.

    Beneficial effects of movement on health are well known, although not always manifest in practice consistent exercise appropriate category of age, sex and level of general physical training.

    Sure it's hard to distinguish when moving sport as "really push" the sport as "cultural value". Integration occurs when exercise is efecueaza sports consciousness exact significance and educational value hierarchy. Thus, the sport becomes "human project done!" Athlete strives to grow, to develop as a person, to create a lifestyle. In the process of creation sui generis sport is accessible to mobilize those other cultural items that may not share them. Sport enables man to discover and develop cultural resorts that lie in itself.

    Sport is culture - said the French philosopher Bernard Jeu - to the extent that performance athlete is creative. Course, up to a point contradicts the two meanings. Subjecting historical constraints need sports to outdoor athletic Act no longer seems to mix well with creatie.In free trade, is sure that the public image of athletes who inflacareaza heart is a human champion.

    In these conditions - says researcher Nicu Alex - should not surprise appearance of the notion of sports culture. "They say about an individual that has a musical culture, but so well can have on the movement of the sport, if they made constant and, most importantly, they understand the meanings, you know the essence." Sports culture includes a system of principles that help us to find ourselves in the amazing resources, capitalize them and thus to discover the size of their availability in November. In this way, the sports culture encourages "the formation of an optimistic conception, by instilling self confidence in their ability to overcome moments of difficulty and performance, stimulating work and creative ability." (Says Prof. dr. Birsanescu Stefan doc).

    Sport evoke human experience exclusive and independent of changing shapes, patterns or traditions of civilization. Culture Sport is designed, the mayor, in ourselves, here reveberatia to derive universal. This explains the Olympic ideal audience today for all peoples, as 3,000 years ago resounds to the Greek people, in the era of civilization Helen.

    Intellectual elite, influenced by soul-body dichotomy has always had a tendency to believe that physical education forms only lead to muscle hypertrophy and underestimated the spiritual valences of an institution that has been the source of harmony, creating the beginnings kalokagathiei expression, the good and beautiful under the same cloak.

    Those who regard the mind-body dualism glasses, in dealing parceled report, often seen in the flesh only the expression of what man compares with anthropoid. Alfred Andersch claimed in 1960 that mens sana in corpore anyway Sano motto is questionable. "More often than not - he said - the spirit feels better in a body just not healthy." What seems to be not only an exaggeration, but a malicious and alignment to the ideas of romance, creation of disease. Instead, Voltaire recommended as a recipe for happiness of human body and soul of a wise athlete. No doubt, body and soul to be addressed as a whole, as an indissoluble unity. Individual and indivisible start from the same root.

    Returning to the relationship that concerns us, it was agreed that in today's sports culture is playful element par excellence. Throughout his gratuity (sometimes apparent) sports culture is creative activity.

    Values ​​that high body exercise, game, sport to the level of culture can be very physical, intellectual, moral or spiritual. No one argued in vain that, after all, is to discover the world of physical discipline, moral ways. Rumanian philosopher Ludwig Grunberg said that "sports is a component of their education and self-education that fulfills their joints in the context of intellectual and moral potentialities cultivation, stimulation of creativity."

    Meanwhile, the sport - and especially physical education - make an original contribution to knowledge of self and others. Like I said, the flavor, Jean Giradoux: sport separates our own very vague body mass of other bodies, the exercise of thought do the same for each spirit.

    Not to mention that, in various forms, especially during outdoor activities, in full nature, sport enriches practitioner sensitivity, emotional and aesthetic contributes to the development of the individual, the feeling that we provide extensive physical reality and natural harmony with the universe.

    The excellent results in improving the human condition biofiziologice, sports essential contribution to the development of spirituality. Between our intellectual faculties and our physical vitality there is indubitable correlation. One can thus say that exercise promotes body spiritual clan.

    Given historical data, their ability to influence, to educate the masses, sports can become important social and cultural values, a true "ferment" of civilization, contributing to enriching the human heritage.
