"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the bases of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the pea of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong"
-John F. Kennedy
What this quote means to me is that to have creativity and intelligence you have to have a healthy mind and body. A strong and healthy body need physical activity, which is what JFK is saying here. He says physical fitness is needed for dynamic and creative intellectual activity. JFK says that physical activity is what you need not just to have a healthy body but to be at the peak of you're intellectual activity
