Sports holiday at the faculty for humanities and pedagogics

The Ancient Greek physician and philosopher, Hippocrates, said, "Gymnastics, physical exercise, walking should firmly enter the daily life of anyone who wants to maintain working capacity, health, a fulfilling and joyful life." The great Indian statesman and politician, Mahatma Gandhi, believed that no matter how much work a person had, he/she should find time for physical exercise as he/she finds it for eating food.
