Physical Perfection
Physical Perfection
the highest degree of the harmonious physical development and overall physical fitness of a human being; the optimal condition for meeting the demands of labor and other spheres of life.
The achievement of physical perfection is possible for all members of society under conditions of socialism, when the state concerns itself with the comprehensive physical development of the entire population and works to maintain and improve public health by creating the most favorable natural and social environment for moral and physical perfection. In socialist society, physical education is an organic part of the state system of communist upbringing, which is aimed at “bringing up a new man who harmoniously combines intellectual wealth, moral purity, and physical perfection” (Programma KPSS, 1976, pp. 120–21).
