It examines the problem of degeneration and the means suggested to combat it. The Regeneration-Korperkultur movements disseminated an ideology of health and fitness, informed largely by eugenic ideas. In this way these movements represented an attempt to implement the ideas of the racial hygiene movement in the lives of the educated middle-class. They promoted qualities such as strength, beauty, courage, military fitness, health, anti-materialism, and a purified sexual aesthetic. |
