Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION “Physical activity is probably the most enjoyable and yet most inexpensive form of preventive medicine.” Games are probably as old as man himself. Many writers gave ride to hint about the origins of Hockey, using the writings, paintings and sculptures of the ancients as evidence. Some very plansive theories have emerged but unfortunately researchers, dwelling into the past of other games, played the same evidence as substantiating the development of their particular past time. The value of exercise programmes is becoming evident as more and more people are participating in such programmes and scientific evidence shows that their benefits are accumulated. Recent medical experiments have indicated that a higher level of strenuous activity must be performed over a relatively long excessive period for prevention of heart diseases. The benefit of more strenuous exercise program includes the development of mental discipline and the building of self-confidence in addition to physical benefits.
