Abstract: Bodybuilding and, especially, fitness gain an increasingly significant role in our society not only by the competitional system, but mostly by what they offer to the common person: enjoyable leisure time, enhancing the health status, creating a positive body aesthetics, physical and mental relaxation, self-confidence, personal dignity, or earning the respect of peers. By using bodybuilding-specific programs and means, the harmonious body development can be positively influenced (optimized) and physical condition can be improved. The regular practice of bodybuilding results in self-image improvement and can have the role of recreation, recovery or compensation. By using progressive difficulty training methods which lead to gain of muscle mass, calories can be burnt more efficiently and body fat can be reduced.
