Today this responsibility is more important than ever before. The university acts on this responsibility to make the student av are of the importance of physical well-being. The maintenance of good health is essential for the harrowing, urbanized pace of today ' s professional world. Arising too from physical tone is the strengthening of the student ' s confidence in his own ability to discipline and direct his activities.
