In the Renaissance, and later a number of prominent figures (RA Kamensky, Merkurialis I. et al.) In his writings began to promote the importance of physical education.
To this end, I. Merkurialis extensive use of the works of Hippocrates, Galen, Plato, Socrates, Avicenna and dr.I. Merkurialis divides exercises into three types. First and foremost, he considers the true views, or medical, gymnastics. He believes that it should teach the physician "should be studied gymnastics at the one who teaches medicine.
The second type is the military exercises and the third - gymnastics false, whose main goal is to win the competition. In addition to gymnastics, I. Merkurialis attaches importance walks, riding, jumping and other forms of exercise.
All exercises author of the treatise divides into preliminary (preparatory), then the main and final. This division is complemented by the methodological comments and guidance on the dosage of physical activity, based on the criteria for fatigue, sweating, state of health, and others.
In his treatise I. Merkurialisa first synthesized description of the physical training of ancient Greece and Rome and recommended technique of physical training, which to date has partially lost its importance.
The era of the development of capitalism
In the era of capitalism once again begin to pay attention to the treatment of movement in the form of so-called medical gymnastics, which is due to the limited level of medical knowledge of the period based on the gross empiricism, and has not received sufficient distribution and recognition.
Only in the field of corrective and orthopedic gymnastics and its topical application has been relatively successful. In 1771 Friedrich Hoffmann publishes "Treatise on orthopedics", which examines the effect of exercise in the treatment of diseases of adolescence.
Some time later, Joseph Tisza wrote to the leadership of "medical gymnastics, or exercise of human organs by the laws of physiology, hygiene and therapeutics", in other words, exercise has become considered a hygienic and clinical and physiological position.
Swedish medical gymnastics
The greatest influence on the development of Swedish medical gymnastics had a system of exercises Ling (1776 - 1839). She pursued mainly target narrowly biological nature and was not sufficiently substantiated by data of anatomy and physiology.
On this occasion Lesgaft wrote: "Swedish gymnastics can not be called a rational, just can not admit that it is based on anatomical and physiological data. It just worked out a system inconsistent. "
Swedish medical gymnastics devoid of emotional content and its essence is local. It includes only one gymnastic exercise and not using natural exercises, sports, and games. Therefore Lesgaft this system especially sharply criticized on the use of children.
Despite these shortcomings, the method of Swedish medical gymnastics, perceived uncritically, has spread to several countries.
Swedish medical gymnastics contributed to the development of other systems of medical gymnastics, built on the principle lokalisticheskom Gorteliusa, video and especially the founder of mechanotherapy Zander.
