The updated TRP complex ("Ready for work and defense!") Is designed to attract Russian citizens to regular physical education and sports. You can prepare for passing the standards yourself. These include tests for strength, agility, endurance and agility.
The abbreviation TRP hides the name of the physical culture and sports complex "Ready for Labor and Defense!" It appeared in the USSR in 1931 and existed for almost 60 years.
The TRP system was at the heart of the physical education of the younger generation. Helped to improve the health of Soviet citizens. Prepared them for the defense of the socialist homeland.
New life of the old complex
Today the TRP is reborn. On September 1, 2014, the updated complex began to officially operate in Russia. Even six-year-olds will now be able to pass the TRP standards. The last step of the complex is intended for those over seventy. There are eleven age groups in total. There were five of them in the USSR.
Top athletes will also receive badges based on their performance and athletic performance. But a bronze badge was added to the gold and silver.
The standards of the complex have changed. They include mandatory tests of strength, endurance and flexibility. Elective tests will assess applied skills.
Higher, further, faster
In the modern version of the TRP, pull-ups, push-ups, long jumps have been preserved. Cross-country skiing or cross-country skiing (in areas where there is no snow). Grenade throwing and swimming.
To pass the TRP standards, athletes, as before, will go on a hike, where they must demonstrate their tourism skills. Light a fire. Overcome obstacles. It is good to navigate the terrain.
The shooting was not canceled either. But the athletes will not shoot from a small-bore rifle, but from a pneumatic one. Or from electronic weapons. Participants are given 10 minutes for five shots. Shooting is performed while sitting or standing.
The revived physical culture and sports complex lacks such exercises as shot throwing, cycling, and ice skating. Athletes will no longer use their legs to climb the rope. But there was an exercise for accuracy.
A hoop with a diameter of 90 cm is hung on the wall. The participant must hit it with a tennis ball from a distance of 6 m. He is given five attempts.
New tests were also developed. For example, forward bends. The athlete performs them while standing, with straight legs. The result will be scored if the participant touches the floor with their fingertips or palms. The touching must continue for at least 2 seconds.
Men will be able to demonstrate strength. For them, such a standard has been introduced as a jerk of a weight of 16 kg. There was no such exercise in the Soviet TRP complex. As well as the shuttle race.
