About this title

From the Inside Flap

A sense of well-being, physical vigour, and mental alertness are the fruits of sporting activity. Running, gymnastics, swimming, and sports games are considered the best route to physical vigour, mental alertness, and a joie de vivre. Not all people recognize, unfortunately, how important regular physical exercise is for good health. Furthermore, not everyone has access to a swimming pool all year round, and not everyone is fortunate enough to have a tennis court, skating rink, or gym at thier doorstep. As a result, many people participate in sports only certain times of the year. In view of this, we want to familiarize the reader with exercises that can be done anywhere without special equipment. These exercises can be used by all family members at home or on vacation.

Partner exercises demand great variety of movement forms. They are designed to develop strength, muscular endurance, and power. Partner exercises are also pleasurable and add variety and excitement in training of athletes and students during P.E. classes. They can be successfully included in training programs of athletes and physical activity programs of school children.
