In addition, you are provided with minus 175 calories in half an hour.

First you must learn how to handle the racket and shuttlecock: you need to hit with your wrist, not with your whole hand. The point is to hit the shuttlecock while it is above the net; you win if your partner on the other side of the net does not have time to hit the shuttle before it hits the ground.

Badminton is played indoors, on a court with a wooden floor, but it can also be played outdoors, on grass, if it is not very windy.

Jogging

Jogging is a great sport that improves the functioning of the heart, lungs and blood circulation. The more you run, the more calories you burn and the stronger your muscles become. Running, you can burn! 300 calories in half an hour.

You should rest when you lose your breath after running 100-400 meters or after 2-3 minutes of movement. Walk until you regain your breath, then continue jogging again. Repeat this alternation until the time allotted for classes has expired, or you have covered the intended distance. Over time, you will see that running is easier and, finally, you will be able to run without stopping for 15 minutes.

Jog at your own pace. Choose a pace that allows you to breathe freely and carry on a conversation. You can run with a friend and chat about something while driving. If you're running alone, try mumbling something under your breath. If you are unable to talk while running, then do not overexert yourself.

When jogging, you do not need to raise your knee high to put your foot forward. The knee should only be bent to bring the leg forward in a straight line without expending extra energy on lateral movements.

Try to put your foot either on the whole foot, or from the heel, so that each step is as if amortized. Only sprinters put their foot off the toe. Their speed is much higher, as is the tension that falls on the muscles of the legs.

Answer from Dmitry Chernikov[newbie]
.Sport is important in human life. He gives us strength, healthy and long life. Everyone needs sports anytime, anywhere. Everyone should be able to run, jump and gallop, etc. Sport is like a tradition. We can say that every country has its own kinds of sports. For example, in Japan, the Baeva sport is developed.

From baiga to the Olympics. National sports and their internationality.
In place of the old local and national isolation ... comes all-round communication and all-round dependence of nations on each other. This applies equally to both material and spiritual production. The fruits of individual nations become common property.
In pre-revolutionary Kazakhstan, all physical culture, all means of physical education were used by the people on an amateur basis, since there were no bodies to control these processes. Therefore, the original folk practice of education could not take shape in a developed system. In the conditions of a nomadic lifestyle, the main forms of physical culture and the main means of physical education were equestrian sports and games, and among children - outdoor games, again reflecting in their content a nomadic lifestyle.
In modern society, when other social and production relations were established, such a level of development of physical culture could no longer satisfy the new and much higher requirements for the upbringing of the younger generation.
Sports organizations pursued the only correct policy not for “national culture”, but for “international culture”, which includes only a part of each national culture, namely: only the consistently democratic and socialist content of each national culture.
International international forms of physical culture do not interfere with the development of national forms of physical culture, but, on the contrary, contribute to their development and improvement. So, Kazakhsha-kures was already included in the program of the 1st All-Kazakhstan Spartakiad, held in 1928. And such popular national sports as baiga, kyz-kuu, audaryspak, kokpar, which were included in the program of the XIII jubilee All-Kazakhstan Spartakiad in 1970, became the object of everyone's attention. This indicates a high general level of development of national forms of physical culture in the republic.
And this process is a necessary condition for the formation of a new person, the comprehensive development of personality, the improvement of lifestyle using all types of physical education. Physical culture and sports, being actively involved in this process, thus act as one of the important factors in the internationalization of the entire spiritual life of our peoples.
In Kazakhstan, all aspects of physical culture and sports are subject to internationalization. A vivid example of the above is the fact that we are also internationalizing national sports and games, various national forms and means of physical education.
The main, leading trend in this case is the emergence and development of common features in national cultures. It is this trend that leads to the progress of the national sports and games of the peoples of Kazakhstan, opening up new prospects for them, especially since Kazakhstan has some experience in the internationalization of individual national sports.
Let's start with the most popular of them - Kazaksha-kures. In 1938, for the first time in the history of this species, weight categories were introduced: light weight (up to 65 kg), medium (up to 76 kg) ...

Sport. Just one word, but how much it means! Going in for sports is a certain type of human activity aimed at achieving a given result in the physical development of a person.

Sport is an integral part of physical culture, in which the main emphasis is on the very physical development of a person, strengthening his health and well-being.

Professional sport is that part of it in which athletes participate, aimed precisely at achieving a certain result in their physical activity, at achieving victory and new sports records. Sports competitions, among which the Olympics, Championships and Tournaments bring out the best athletes. Of course, the dream of every athlete is to win the Olympic Games, the world's largest competitions that originated in ancient Greece, and subsequently gathered participants from all over the world.

During its history of development, and the history of sports extends far, far into the past, starting almost from the Stone Age, a large number of sports have arisen in which everyone can realize their most outstanding abilities. Training in sports is carried out by various sports organizationsspecializing in certain sports.

The development, promotion and popularization of sports is carried out by various Sports Federations, Associations and Unions, although the Ministry of Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy of the Russian Federation plays the main role in this.

Sport surrounds us almost from birth, in kindergarten, school, college. Many choose it as their profession. And this is facilitated by the huge and ever-increasing popularity of sports and sports lifestyles.

Athletics is an Olympic sport that includes running, race walking, all-around, running, cross-country and technical events. Athletics is called the queen of sports because it is one of the most massive sports and its disciplines have always played the largest number of medals at the Olympic Games. Athletes are athletes who practice one or more types of athletics.

Athletics Federation

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) was founded in 1912 and unites national federations. The headquarters of the association is located in Monaco.

The All-Russian Federation of Athletics (VFLA) is engaged in the development and popularization of athletics in Russia, and also manages the conduct of all-Russian competitions.

History of the development of athletics (briefly)

Athletics is considered to be a very ancient sport, as evidenced by ubiquitous archaeological finds (coins, vases, sculptures, etc.). The oldest of athletics is running. By the way, the run was carried out at a distance equal to one stage - one hundred and ninety-two meters. It is from this name that the word stadium comes from.

The ancient Greeks called all physical exercises athletics, which in turn was usually divided into “light” and “heavy”. They attributed to athletics exercises that develop dexterity and endurance (running, jumping, archery, swimming, etc.). Accordingly, all exercises that developed strength were classified as “weightlifting”.

The first Olympic champion in athletics is considered to be Koroibos (776 BC), this date is considered to be the beginning of the history of athletics. The modern history of athletics originates from competitions in running over a distance of about 2 km by college students in Rugby (Great Britain) in 1837. Later, the competition program began to include sprinting, hurdles, weight throwing, long jumps and running height.

In 1865, the London Athletic Club was founded, which was engaged in the popularization of athletics.
