Abstract

The study aims to contribute to kinanthropological approach toward optimal leading of life and especially to the role of sport and physical activities in it. Firstly, we tried to find optimal personal qualities that can be proper for the ars vitae.

Six of them (creativity, catharsis, calculation, concentration, contemplation and credibility) were chosen and annotated. Further, we focused on proper biodromal projects, being based on some traditional models.

The opposites of Dionysian and Apollonian tendency of life and authentic and inauthentic ones were chosen for a closer analyse. Concrete examples were taken from the field of sport.

Finally Kretchmar's structural model of the good life was examined.
