Brehman for the first time has stated idea about the necessity of the allocation of the individual health as an object of a research in 1980. Having gone through the period of non-recognition, valeology is very actual today. Thousands publications are devoted to it. The term "valeology" is known to doctors, teachers, psychologists and psychiatrists, experts on physical training.
