The skeletal muscle is the most massive organ of the body. Its function is in close interaction with all organs; its activity serves as essential physiological adaptogenic stimulus for the optimization of organ functions. On the basis of an insufficient motion-induced adaptation the spreading lack of motion restricts the efficacy and the stability of vegetatively regulated functions. Morphological and functional adaptive modifications caused by motion may very well be represented at the heart in form of a model. These are objectifiable at a functional, coronary circulatory and cellular level. It can reasonably be started from the fact that an adequate motor activity, which belongs to the biohistorical scheme of the human body, is able to further stability of health, functional capacity and well-being.
