Standards for athletics - from school to big sport and the army

The standards for athletics are different: they depend not only on the level of training of the athlete, but also on the age category. For example, standards are known for athletics for schoolchildren, for students, for professional athletes and so on. Naturally, for athletes the bar is much higher than the rates of ordinary students. There are tables of standards, according to which it is possible to determine the level of preparedness of one or another subject. In addition, there are discharge standards for athletics. It is they who pay attention to students of sports schools, when they prepare for major competitions, where they can officially confirm their qualifications. After all, having a certain sports category is not only prestigious, but also promising. In sports universities take only dischargers, which a priori forces athletes to strive to improve their performance.

Modern requirements to the standards for athletics

If we consider modern standards fortrack and field athletics, then by some indicators they are significantly higher than those that existed several years ago. Take, for example, a run of 800 meters: today, in order to get the first adult rank, the athlete must run the distance for 2.02.0. To obtain CCM - for 2.00.0. If you carefully look at the standards for athletics, you can identify that to achieve results you must either train, tearing the body, or use anabolics. It is unlikely that modern methods of training - with a 4-5 training schedule per week - can significantly improve the condition. By the way, to fulfill the standards for athletics, a considerable number of athletes go, if not everything, then much. Now you will not be surprised by the fact that young athletes add all kinds of powders to their food, and between training they do not hesitate to use pills or something more serious. Of course, this did not take mass distribution, but the fact remains. Already in five to seven years, young guys turn into half-disabled, not suitable for further sports career. But they have in their pocket a CIC certificate or a discharger. Just what to do with it?

If we consider benchmarks fortrack and field athletics for pupils of secondary schools, they more or less meet modern reality. However, given the situation with the deterioration of the overall health of our schoolchildren, it is easy to predict that the standards will be reduced in the coming years. Otherwise, students simply will not get positive grades. After all, in the journals of the level of physical readiness, most of the children have a preparatory group.

Standards in the Army

The army has its own standards for athletics. It is important to note that most of them are surrendered by military men in boots or coats. Naturally, the travel time (mileage) of the distance increases noticeably due to special outfits. Be that as it may, the army standards are quite serious, and not every senior high school student will be able to pass them to the top five. In general, the army is a special topic for reflection. For example, to pass the standards for obtaining a "maroon beret" it is important not to run to speed: the priority here is completely different - to keep the forces for other actions (battle with the rival, the passage of the obstacle course, and so on). Agree, not every professional athlete runs ten or fifteen kilometers, fully laid out, over rough terrain and at the same time retains the strength for a fight and other actions that require maximum tension.
