Summary/Abstract: This text presents a concept for approaching selected forms of physical activity in terms of hygiene. The concept of musculoskeletal hygiene is defined, its subject matter, scope, and application are identified. A broad justification is presented, highlighting the advantages of formally classifying some forms of physical activity and exercises as hygiene, thus framing them in the context of culture. Formally classifying physical activity as hygiene opens a new perspective on the approach to certain forms of physical activity by invoking culture-forming mechanisms. Defining the area of hygiene in relation to the musculoskeletal system offers the opportunity for a significant change in the approach to physical activity itself. This is justified by the special position of hygiene as a regulator of human behavior. Hygiene, especially personal hygiene, is perceived by society as a highly unambiguous sanction – its absence is extremely negative.
