Physical Conditioning Training in the Light of the Latest Scientific Knowledge
Kemal Idrizović
Abstract: 
A man has always been aware that more physical activities, together with  optimality of other parameters such as leisure and nutrition, bring him supremacy over other members of his wider community. This was primarily linked to the skills in  hunting and warfare. On the other side, in times of peace and abundance, a man's aboriginal need for an boastfulness and dominance over other people around him will be demonstrated in various shapes of competitions in the area of man's physical capacities, a strength and speed first of all. The knowledge about the possibility of the increase of these capacities by practicing of different shapes of a physical activity, namely an exercising, attained in the previous periods, will start to be applied in an organized manner. First of all, it will occur in military structures, and then  as a part of events recognised as the very beginnings of what sport today is. Which is the latest knowledge about that?
Keywords:
