Strength sports are generally best suited for men. They are aimed at demonstrating and developing your own muscles and strength. But here, too, there are some nuances. The simplest and most natural demonstration of strength is a fight between athletes. Previously, such a competition was part of weightlifting. At the moment, wrestling belongs to martial arts, and power sports are distinguished by the method of impact of gravity.
Instructions
Step 1
Powerlifting is the holding or pushing of heavy weights. In this case, we are talking about very serious numbers. So, for example, at the beginning of the 20th century, a record was recorded - lifting about 2000 kg. It should be noted that this sport has not yet been included in the program of the Olympic Games.
Step 2
The most technical and advanced sport is weightlifting. At the moment, weightlifting includes biathlon in the competition: clean and jerk. It emerged as a separate sport at the end of the 19th century. Since then, weightlifting has been constantly developing: the time for one approach and the number of exercises are reduced, the number of weight categories is increasing, thereby adding participants. But in this sport there is also such an unsolvable problem as doping.
Step 3
Physical strength is demonstrated in other strength sports just as convincingly. These include running, sprint, jumping, gymnastics and some other types. Speed-strength sports require not only dexterity, but also endurance from the athlete.
Step 4
One of the traditional and old exercises that shows masculine power is throwing weights at a distance. Items can be of varying severity. One of the first Olympiads in this sport involved throwing a large stone weighing more than 20 kilograms. The program of the modern Olympics includes throwing not very heavy objects, for example, a disc weighing 2 kg. It is worth noting that in antiquity, as a rule, five-kilogram discs were thrown.
Step 5
Strength sports are very popular in our country. One of the directions is kettlebell lifting. In Russia, it is widespread and traditional. This popularity is partly due to the simplicity and availability of equipment, the ability to work with a variety of weights and a wide selection of weights. Even a boy can start exercising with kilogram dumbbells.
Step 6
Bodybuilding and bodybuilding are considered by many to be a separate sport, and some are considered a bright show. Unfortunately, anabolic steroids and nutritional supplements play a leading role in the training of bodybuilders.
Step 7
Armwrestling is also a power sport. Despite its popularity and prevalence, unfortunately, today it is not an Olympic species. In Russia, armwrestling is often called armwrestling. This is a democratic and peaceful single combat. The goal of the athlete is to defeat the opponent by resetting the resistance, to put his hand on the table surface.
