over the last few decades. Philip Mills is taking Auckland as an example. For more than 50 years ago, there was a two-to three gyms in the city, and today there are, according to him, around 300 of the city, which has 1.4 million inhabitants.

In a paper from 2016, the outlines of the two researchers: Jesper Andreasson and Johansson, the best-selling book, ”Aerobics” which was co-written by Kenneth Cooper in 1968, with the beginning of the fitnessrevolution that have occurred to date.
