Tournaments in the fitness class are competitions for athletic women and men involved in strength training with weights in the following sports: bodybuilding, acrobatics, gymnastics, as well as aerobics, choreography and karate.
The main goal of the competition is to promote a healthy lifestyle, as well as the development and promotion of fitness sports among young people. Competitions among women are held in age categories: from 14 to 18 years among juniors; 18 years and older - among women. In height categories: up to 164 cm; above 164 cm.
In the event that there are more than 15 participants in the competition, a qualifying round is held. Competitors in bikinis and high-heeled shoes line up on the stage in the order of the numbers determined by lot.
Judges оценивают пропорции атлетичеWithки Withложенного тела и тонуWith кожи поWithле каждого поворота WithпортWithменок на каждые 90 градуWithов. The results are summed up by counting the results of judges' assessments. Athletes with the most points are allowed to compete. In the case of the same amount of points scored among 2 or more participants, an additional qualifying round is held. The semi-finals in fitness are held in two rounds: a bikini round and a free program.
The bikini round is held with the participation of all 15 athletes, who line up on the stage in the order determined by the draw. The chief referee of the competition gives orders to perform 4 turns to the right for every 90 degrees - for the judges to evaluate the figures of the athletes and the overall impression. Then divide the participants into groups of 5 people. At this stage, the judges evaluate athletic build, muscle symmetry density, muscle proportions and physical attractiveness, i.e. face, posture, skin tone, femininity and overall impression.
The judge places numbers from 1 to 15 in the protocol in accordance with the places occupied by the athletes. In the event of a disputed assessment between two or more athletes, a comparative score is held. The rankings given by each of the 9 judges are compared, column by column, with dots next to the scores closest to prize. The highest place is awarded to the athlete with the highest number of such points.

FREE PROGRAM

Each participant is called to the stage to perform a free program in accordance with the number received during the draw. The athlete performs a free program with musical accompaniment of her choice, no more than one minute. Judges оценивают выWithтупление With точки зрения Withтиля, личноWithти, атлетичеWithкой координации и общей артиWithтичноWithти. Of all the participants, the judges single out those athletes who demonstrate strength, flexibility and complex acrobatic elements in their performance. The program may consist of elements of aerobics, various types of dance, acrobatics or other sports that demonstrate athletic talent. After the performance of the athlete, the judge indicates in the protocol the place that she took as a result of her performance in this round. Then the 2 highest and 2 lowest places are discarded and the remaining 5 marks are added up, after which the remaining number that determines the place in the bikini round is added to the remaining number in the free program and the final result is displayed with the determination of the six best participants who receive the right to compete in the final.

THE FINAL

In the final, the six finalists enter the stage in bikinis and high heels and line up in numerical order. The main judge asks the participants to perform 4 turns to the right. Judges оценивают WithпортWithменок, раWithполагая их With 1-го по 6-е меWithта (отброWithив 2 выWithших и 2 низших результата), подводят итоги раунда– бикини и произвольной программы (на чемпионатах РоWithWithии в финале раунд произвольной программы обычно не проводитWithя). In the final round, only athletic build, femininity, and general impression are judged.

MEN'S FITNESS

Competitions are held in the absolute category, in two rounds, not counting the preliminary selection (if more than 10 athletes are declared).

1st round - competitive costume.
Participants go on stage in swimming trunks, barefoot. Swimming trunks must cover at least half of the buttocks during the entire duration of the competition. The use of jewelry and accessories is prohibited. The hairstyle can be styled. The use of sequins on the body is prohibited.
At the command of the referee-informant athletes simultaneously perform 90-degree turns over the left shoulder (bodybuilding postures). Judging should take into account: symmetry, amount of subcutaneous fat, quality of active muscle mass, skin tone. The physique should not be excessively muscular, but with an appropriate (clear) definition.
2nd round - floor exercises
The duration of floor exercises is 1.5–2 minutes. It is allowed to use a suit in accordance with the image being created, but not too covering the body. It is possible to use shoes, accessories, jewelry and stage paraphernalia.

The program allows the performance of dance elements, martial arts elements, gymnastic elements, individual bodybuilding poses (but not performance).
During the performance, the athlete demonstrates strength, flexibility, endurance, acrobatic exercises and contact with the audience. In addition, judges evaluate the purity of movements and the quality of performance of all parts of the floor exercise, as well as the creativity and individuality of the athlete.
The 3rd round is similar to the 1st round, only the participants go on stage in colored swimming trunks.
Rewarding - athletes go out in the suit of the 1st round (swimming shorts).
With the same final result in two rounds, the advantage is given to the athlete who took 1st place in the 1st round.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CREATING A FREE PROGRAM FOR WOMEN'S AND MEN'S FITNESS

Each kind of sport has its own peculiarities of performing a motor action, due to its target orientation, external conditions and competition rules, which determine the specific requirements for the preparedness of an athlete.
Based on the rules of IFBB bodybuilding and fitness competitions, the composition can consist of 2-3 parts, each of which lasts 40-45 seconds, for women 1 minute, for men 1.5-2 minutes. During this time, athletes must reveal all their abilities, demonstrate elements of strength, flexibility, jumps, and also show their artistic abilities, i.e. reflect the intended image and the chosen style of music (oriental, Spanish, Russian, jazz) with a specific plasticity of movements and manner of performance., modern, break, etc.). There are no mandatory elements in the rules of the competition, athletes have the right to choose elements available according to their level of training, achieve clarity of execution and include them in the program. Do not forget that the uncertain performance of the elements can affect the impression of the performance of the composition. Poorly trained novice athletes forget about presentation (artistry) from focusing on complex elements, which significantly affects the effectiveness of the performance, the reaction of the audience and the evaluation of the judges. Often, in the composition, the following errors can be traced:
- unbalanced program (i.e. passion for dance or strength elements)
- the chosen style of music does not correspond to the plasticity of movements
- the chosen angles of movements do not correspond to their visual perception.
Original musical material, a large supply of motor and strength training, good flexibility enable the choreographer-trainer to choose the image, style and WithбаланWithировано раWithпределить элементы в каждой из 2–3 чаWithтей композиции. When staging, it is very important to take into account the individual style and errors in the athlete's figure. The task of the choreographer with the help of movements is to be able to hide flaws and emphasize her positive qualities and body proportions. Elements должны органичеWithки WithливатьWithя With задуманным образом и подчеркивать музыкальные акценты выбранного произведения.
I would like to remind the coach that any element performed must be shown to the judges in the perspective in which it is favorably viewed. For example, sideways to the viewer should be performed: front balance, bridge, flips forward, backward, to the side (“wheel”), flexion, extension of the arms in the lying position, however, lateral bending of 1 or 2 arms in the lying position should be performed facing judges. If athletes do not have the necessary flexibility, their range of motion is limited, of course it is not desirable to include swings, etc. in the composition, in this regard, it is necessary to select movements with the position of bent legs, to focus on the performance of strength elements or on the artistic abilities of athletes.
In order to more clearly reflect the existing abilities of athletes, it is desirable to include in the composition 2-3 elements from each main group, i.e. elements of static, dynamic strength, flexibility elements, jumps.
Before staging the composition, special attention should be paid to the selection musical material. As a rule, those compositions where the music is recognizable, popular and incendiary have success. There are no restrictions in the rules of the competition in the selection of the tempo of the music. By changing the musical material and image in each part, performing athletes can make a more vivid impression on judges and spectators than athletes performing to the accompaniment of one melody and without a specific image. As a rule, the musical accompaniment has many interesting special effects that need to be reflected in various gestures, placards of movements, pantomime. Of no small importance is the quality of the layout of the musical material, where one melody should gently transition into another without noise and sound frequency drops. The quality of the recording also affects the overall score. After mastering the composition, you should work on artistry and presentation, work out the composition to a high level of performing skills, think over a costume or costume details
