As the mechanism of the body is studied, attention should be directed to its wonderful adaptation of means to ends, the harmonious action and dependence of the various organs. As the interest of the student is thus awakened, and he is led to see the importance of physical culture, much can be done by the teacher to secure proper development and right habits.

Under studiet af legemets opbygning burde opmærksomheden rettes mod dets vidunderlige hensigtsmæssighed, den harmoniske funktion og de forskellige organers afhængighed af hinanden. Når elevens interesse således er blevet vakt og han er kommet til at indse betydningen af legemskultur, kan der af læreren gøres meget for at sikre de rette udvikling og de rette vaner.
