Those who are fond of sports can be divided into two groups. The first includes the so-called amateurs, for whom their general physical preparation is important, and not exceptional results. The second is made up of professionals - people who are aimed at high achievements in their chosen sport. Often, athletes migrate from one group to another due to their own individual characteristics.
Single, with rare exceptions
In the Russian Federation, the federal standard of sports training applies to all sports included in the All-Russian Register. Small changes are made to it from time to time, but the main backbone of the document - No. 412 FZ - was approved in 2011. The register includes species controlled by the all-Russian sports federations. All the requirements listed in the document apply to them. The exception was national sports, specialized military training, fire and applied training, and the like. The federal standard does not affect their development.
Sports training is a whole range of methods, skills, tools, conditions, knowledge, experience aimed at the systematic strengthening of the human body. It also has an important effect on the development and strengthening of the athlete’s fortitude. We can safely say that sport is a culture of comprehensive education of the individual. The Federal Standard reflects all the stages of training citizens of the country, taking into account their age, gender, characteristics of the selected disciplines and all the nuances associated with this type of activity. In other words, it contains all the standards applicable in the country for amateur and professional sports.
From a healthy mind to a healthy body
To form the correct attitude to physical education should begin with infancy. This initiative is entirely the choice of the child’s parents. Not only his athletic performance in the future, but also his general physical condition depends on how much they manage to captivate their child with a healthy lifestyle. Many parents understand this and do not spare money or time on the child’s athletic development. A kind of sports training is a way of life aimed at the formation of a beautiful physique, strong, strong body, its speed and power qualities.
It is important to remember that high results in physical development do not come naturally after time and do not always depend on the number of workouts. Exceptional achievements can only be achieved by hard, purposeful work from year to year, regularly using all the known methods of training in the chosen sport. Such zeal is not inherent in everyone. Therefore, choosing sport as the main business of your life, in order to avoid disappointment, it is better to initially analyze your own strength of mind, individual characteristics of the body, psychological adaptation to possible failures. Appropriate conclusions must also be drawn to parents who encourage their children to become involved in physical education. Not everyone is capable of becoming an Olympic champion, but to have a strong, slender body is easy.
Emphasis on strength
The bulk of amateur athletes among men primarily relies on their strength training. It is the basis for the development of other physical qualities: stamina, speed, agility. The common expression “drag iron” is from the priority category of men who are aimed at sports training. In this case, sport is for them a way of building muscle in gyms, and therefore, strength in the whole body.
A proper diet, a regular regimen of classes, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can accelerate the achievement of tasks. And those, in turn, automatically work to strengthen willpower to engage in physical education on an ongoing basis. Professional training of athletes is a complex, multifunctional process. But in this case, the main focus during training is aimed at increasing the strength endurance of athletes.
Beauty reference
The female part of the world's population has completely different goals, torturing their bodies on treadmills or exercise bikes. A slender figure, taut forms, the absence of extra pounds on the sides - the entire program of sports training for the beautiful half of humanity is based on these three pillars. The physical education industry is developing quite dynamically, inventing more and more types of training for girls and women to achieve the above qualities.
But whatever the goals, the general improvement of the population is the best thing that sports enthusiasm can give. Moreover, the age range of those involved in gyms, at stadiums or in fitness centers is constantly expanding. Running regularly at certain times of the day in forest park areas, embankments, and courtyards of very young athletes next to older athletes can be observed today in any village. Quite often, the passion for amateur athletics becomes widespread.
Material and technical base
Unfortunately, in our time, specialized sports training is a luxury. Classes in gyms and sections with a qualified trainer, visits to fitness centers are worth a lot of money. If we consider sports only as a guarantee of an excellent figure and general physical condition, then everything is simpler - you can equip a gym and at home. He will not require large financial investments, but he will allow working people to have everything they need at hand to strengthen their bodies and engage in the most convenient time for this. In addition, everyone can choose a set of shells, focusing on the capabilities of their own wallet. Another plus of the home gym is a one-time waste, and the savings in fitness centers are permanent.
However, if your own area does not allow the arrangement of a decent sports corner, you can always find a way out: a horizontal bar, dumbbells, a jump rope, a Swedish wall, bars, a bench for bench press and similar equipment do not take up much space. In addition, almost any apartment has a balcony or loggia, and in your own house there is a veranda or attic. These are ideal places to perform physical exercises with excellent circulation of fresh air even in the cold season. Of course, they cannot be compared with classes in the halls equipped with the latest simulators, but the lack of financial capabilities cannot justify the refusal of sports training for those who feel craving or need for it.
To each - their own team
If sport is a matter of all life, for this, in every settlement there are all kinds of sections. In them, the process of training athletes is conducted according to specialized programs under the guidance of experienced mentors. In the centers of sports training, all material and technical conditions are created, centralized training methods are used, and a system of psychological development of athletes is organized. Classes in the group give rise to a healthy spirit of competition, stimulate to achieve higher results and set their own records.
Each sport has its own characteristics. The training process is characterized by distinguishable essential features in technical equipment, tactical approaches, psychological adjustment. Even the physical preparation of the athlete’s body is aimed at the development of various qualities. The musculoskeletal system should function perfectly for the athlete, the nervous system for the chess player, and the respiratory system for the swimmer. And so for every sport. However, comprehensively developed athletes achieve excellent results.
Enhanced functionality
Exceptional general physical fitness at the beginning of a sports career can contribute to an earlier transition to enhanced training in the respective specialization. But if certain muscle groups are not sufficiently developed, the mobility of certain joints is not noticeable, and the performance of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems does not withstand prolonged classes, an athlete can switch to an individual mode of sports training. This will allow achieving the necessary results at a faster pace.
The same processes are extremely important for maintaining the overall physical fitness of amateur athletes. Running as far as possible, swimming, jumping, skiing can quickly improve the respiratory system. Push-ups and pull-ups - build muscle. For the systematic development of their anaerobic performance or speed-power abilities, it is important to choose the most effective way of training, taking into account the characteristics of your own body. An experienced instructor will help you with competent advice in choosing a specific system.
Mastery growth - load growth
Initial physical training is distinguished by a general health-improving orientation, and most amateur athletes stop at this point in their development. The types of sports training that they choose for this: running, swimming, athletics or weightlifting do not play a special role, since in this case classes do not go beyond hobby. Professionals are focused on high results, and the approach to their own development is different here.
With an increase in the level of physical fitness, its complexity inherent in the chosen sports orientation grows, and so on until the use of the maximum capabilities of one's own body. World and Olympic records - from here. Real athletes always aim for the highest score. They are distinguished by the ability to concentrate on tasks, subordinate their entire lifestyle to a single goal. Such a level of development is not so much a sport as a comprehensive culture of personality development.
The harm of fanaticism
Often the transcendent use of the capabilities of one's own body can lead to tragic consequences - a crippled body, a broken soul. General physical training and sports training, focused on high professionalism, does not matter. The fanatical desire to achieve victory at all costs does not justify torturing himself. In pursuit of lightning-fast results, many bring their own body to exhaustion and stop only with hospitalization in medical institutions. Such “exploits” often end in death.
Real professionals have worked out a personal training system, an established regime for years, differentiation of opportunities in accordance with the time of day, and many other factors that do not allow the destruction of one’s own body. Overtraining is mainly inherent to amateurs. Therefore, it is important to entrust the development of our own training program to an experienced instructor at this initial stage of familiarization with sports.
Champion Education
Amateur and professional sports have their own goals and objectives. The former - to strengthen their own health, improve their overall physical condition. The second - the achievement of maximum results in global competitions. The principles, means and methods of training in mass, in professional sports are not much different from each other.
As already mentioned, the standards of sports training in force in the country are spelled out in federal law. They apply to amateurs and professionals, to all institutions and organizations, starting from preschool institutions and ending with ministries. But each sport has its own requirements for its development, which have special, distinguishable from other signs, expressed in technical equipment, theoretical, tactical and psychological training. And, of course, athletes of different specializations have their own schemes and training methods. Combining all types of training together creates an effective educational complex.
