Physical fitness is not only
one
of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of
dynamic
and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the
soundness
of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much
is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that
intelligence
and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body
is healthy and strong; that hardy spirits and tough minds usually
inhabit
sound gods.
