The aim: of the paper is to a) indicate to possibility to diagnose manʼs state of health on the basis of his movement activity; b) point out the importance of movement activity and its conditioning for the improvement of manʼs health.

Conclusions:
1. Movement activity is manʼs biological need and indispensable component of his life to guarantee the maintaining of good health.
2. Movement activity should accompany man all through his life.
3. On the basis of manʼs movement activity, and in particular the quality of performing movements, it is possible to evaluate the level of his movement coordination.
4. Movement activity adequate to manʼs possibilities, strengthens manʼs health.
5. Movements should be accompanied by various kinds of respiration suitable for the changing character of exercises and their intensity.
6. Kinds and intensity of movement activity depend on age.
