What three special sports include

At present, the specialized sports generally recognized in the domestic sports training and competition system are divided into three categories, namely physical fitness-oriented category, skill-oriented category, and mind-oriented category.

I have been in the youth training camp of the provincial team for more than half a year. The most intuitive feeling is that the training scenes of the three types of events are completely different. The players in the physical-oriented category basically spend every day in the track and field and the weight room, either sprinting for 100-meter intervals or carrying barbells to practice core. Sprinting, weightlifting, marathon, and short track speed skating all fall into this category. , the core competition is basic physical fitness such as speed, explosive power, and endurance. Of course, a small number of training researchers advocate splitting explosive and endurance physical fitness events into two subcategories. However, the current general classification still puts them under the same category. After all, the core evaluation dimensions are the upper limit of physical fitness.

Unlike physical fitness events that rely on hard power to "stack values", skill-oriented special events test athletes' precise control of movements. You see, the members of the national table tennis team practice twisting and pulling against the ball machine for hours, and the figure skaters can fall hundreds of times for a quadruple jump. No matter how good your physical fitness is, if the details of the movements are not in place and the placement is not accurate on the spot, you will still not get good results. There have been discussions within the circle before about whether to separate sports that involve direct physical confrontation, such as basketball and football, into "confrontational sports." However, such sports are essentially centered on the implementation of action skills, so they are still classified as skill-oriented.

The first two categories are often seen in the Olympics and National Games. The third category of mind-driven specialties has only been included in the mainstream classification in recent years. Go, e-sports, and bridge in the International Mind Games all fall into this category. These events do not require you to have top-notch running and jumping abilities, but they do require situation judgment, decision-making speed, and pressure resistance. An interesting thing to mention is that members of the Go team said that they also need to practice physical fitness before competitions, otherwise their bodies will not be able to bear it after sitting for seven or eight hours to play a game of chess. In the early years, many traditional sports people did not recognize this type of sport as a specialized sport and felt that it had no physical attributes. However, now this type of project has a complete youth training and competition system, and the specific ability requirements of athletes are not even lower than those of traditional sports, and it has gradually been included in the general classification.

To put it bluntly, the three types of special events actually correspond to what we often say when watching competitions: "strengthening physical strength", "strengthening skills" and "strengthening brains". The training logic of different categories is far different, and there is no distinction between high and low. Those who can develop their special abilities to the top are all powerful athletes.
