Kondíciós

Kondíciós is a Hungarian term formed from kondíció (condition, fitness) and the suffix -s, and it refers to anything related to conditioning or the state resulting from a conditioning process. The word is used in several fields to describe the level, quality, or process of becoming conditioned, trained, or prepared.

In sports and health contexts, kondíció denotes overall physical condition, endurance, strength, and resilience. Kondíciós edzés refers to training aimed at improving cardiovascular fitness, stamina, and muscular capacity, often combining aerobic work, interval training, and resistance exercises. Assessing kondíció typically involves monitoring indicators such as heart rate, endurance performance, lactate thresholds, and recovery times to guide training progression.

In mathematics and numerical analysis, kondíciós most commonly appears in the phrase kondíciós szám, or condition number. For a nonsingular matrix A, the kondíciós szám κ(A) = ||A|| · ||A^{-1}|| measures how strongly the solution to Ax = b will be affected by small changes in A or b. A small kondíciós szám indicates a well-conditioned problem that is stable under perturbations, while a large kondíciós szám signals ill-conditioning and potential numerical instability, especially due to rounding errors during computations. The concept depends on the chosen matrix norm, with common choices including the 2-norm and the maximum norm.

Beyond these domains, kondíciós usage is rarer and tends to appear in technical or engineering contexts where conditioning processes or properties of systems are involved. In everyday language, the sports and numerical analysis senses are by far the most prevalent.
