title: Position of conditioning in Hungary.
abstract: The continuous increase of the international competition amongst the top-athletes on the one hand and the hypokinesia of the common man on the other, required a wide-ranging interpretation of the conditioning concept. As early as in the early sixties the necessity arose that besides the relatively small group of top-athletes there should also be conditioning exercise programs available for the total population. The task of sport medicine is the training of sport medical service for the evaluation of the participants both in the beginning and later. Producing the material background is the task of the state. We are now performing the summarizing of twenty years' observations and in this paradoxical way we did not approach the practice from the theory but we conclude from our practice to the theory. We elaborated the data of athletes, who were examined in different diseases, during the reconvalescence and a competition period. We studied the changing of conditional skills in six categories, working up the exercising programs in each category. This categorization is also an aid in the unified aspects of fitness programs of non-sporting people.
