AB The study deals with the issues of the understanding of sport, physical education, health science and personal hygiene in Czech culture after 1920. In the field of film production, apart from films about hygiene, healing, health facilities and healthy nutrition, films about being in nature, such as scout and sokol films, as well as all kinds of sports, and also American slapstick films, the essence of which was derived from movement skills (chasing, climbing, jumping and falling), corresponded to the requirements derived from sport. The importance of actors' movement backgrounds for their application in film. Specific examples (Douglas Fairbanks, Vlasta Burian).
