Sports are the most ancient. Olympics. Rare and forgotten sports. Diving into the ground
The world is changing: something shamelessly becomes obsolete, something new comes to replace the outdated. So it is with sports. Although it seems that this does not concern him, because most of the sports are older than the sideboard in his grandmother's apartment. But nevertheless, in the backyard of history, there were several undeservedly, and perhaps deservedly forgotten sports lying around. Some of them have been transformed, while others have ceased to be considered a sport at all. But first things first.
1. Shooting pigeons
This discipline is somewhat reminiscent of hunting. It is not clear whether it is good or bad that this sport has been canceled, since cities are literally suffocating in hordes of feathered carcasses. And pigeons carry various diseases. On the one hand, there was a plus in this fun, and on the other hand, it was somehow not civilized, or something.
The sport, by the way, was an Olympic one, but it got to the Olympics only once: in 1900. Then the athletes shot 300 pigeons. The most accurate was the Belgian Leon de Landin, who scored 21 points. These were the only modern Olympic Games in which living creatures perished. After that, the discipline returned to the program for some time, but they were already shooting at clay pigeons.
2. Rackets
The invention of British sports fans. The essence of the game is simple: two or four participants take turns sending the ball into the wall so that when it bounces it hits the opponent's half. When one player makes a mistake, the right to serve is transferred to another, and so on. In a word, when you and your friend were throwing the ball at the wall out of boredom in the yard, you were not just passing the time, but playing the once Olympic sport.
The British achieved the inclusion of rackets in the program of the 1908 Olympics in London, where they competed for two sets of awards - in singles and doubles. Only seven Britons applied to participate. After the London Games, racketeering at the Olympics was never heard of. And no one has lost anything from it.
3. Jeu de pomme
The roots of de poma (from the French jeu - "game", paume - "palm") go back to the Middle Ages. The ancient game immediately became the ancestor of tennis, squash, racquetball (a game reminiscent of squash) and handball. The first mention of jeu-de-pome appeared in the 13th century - even then it was played in France, Italy and England.
The rules are extremely simple: you need to throw a small ball over a stretched net or rope with your hand. Then, as a game projectile, they began to use a bat - a wide stick, and later switched to prototypes of rackets, although they initially used their palms, but it is very painful. The venue for the game of jeu de paume was special closed halls called "tripot" (from the French tripot). Only in Paris there were more than 200 such premises, which immediately attracted the capital's bourgeois - the game was affordable mainly for members of the royal court and high-ranking nobles.
They played jeu de paume for money: the bet was an ecu coin (equal to 60 sous) - an artisan on this amount could quite calmly exist for several weeks. The ecu was divided into four parts of 15 sous, each of which was worth one point. From here, by the way, the scoring system in modern tennis came out, only “45” was replaced by “40” for the convenience of commenting - shouting a short number is much more energetic.
The game was included in the program of the 1908 Olympics in London, but ironically, only the British and Americans took part in the first and last Olympic tournament, and not its creators, the French.
By the way, this sport was well known in Russia. The sports department of St. Petersburg State University still has a playground for this fun. It has been standing since the eighteenth century.
4. Pistol duel
In fact, there was nothing wrong with this discipline. Only at first glance it seems that such a sport is somehow connected with aristocrats, etiquette, gloves in the face and gunshot wounds. In fact, everything was not quite like that, since ... mannequins acted as opponents of the Olympians, as was the case at the games in 1906. The opponents took turns shooting at the scarecrow from a distance of 20 and 30 meters. This sport was again lit up in the games of 1912, but then disappeared forever.
5. Art
"This is some nonsense!" you say. “Really, nonsense,” we agree. It's hard to even call it a sport. On the other hand, all those who scorn physical activity and say that jocks are degenerates have received some confirmation of their words.
It all started in Stockholm. In 1912, art competitions were included in the program of the Olympic Games. It was part of the idea of Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the IOC. Later, at the 1912 Games, De Coubertin, who was not physically developed, won the gold medal in literature.
In 1948, 25 countries sent artists to London to compete in architecture, painting, sculpture, literature and music. This was the last time that art competitions were held on Olympic Games. But once again, this sport has hacked professionalism. Most of the artists were professionals, which was contrary to the then IOC statute, and the competition was removed from the program of the Olympic Games. And then it finally dawned on everyone that there was no place for ranting about paintings and vases at the sports festival.
6 Obstacle Swimming
A very unusual, but undoubtedly fun, 200m swim race. Competitors first swam to the pole and rapidly climbed onto it. And then they had to go back down, swim a little more, climb on two boats, overcome the distance under two more, and then, finally, the finish line appeared on the horizon.
The competition was held only once, during the 1900 Olympic Games. Then the winner was Frederick Lane from Australia. You can imagine all these wisdoms, and it even becomes a pity that this sport has long ceased to be an Olympic sport. In terms of entertainment, he, perhaps, would have surpassed many activities.
7. Naumachia
Let's dive into unforgivable antiquity. Sports such as chariot riding, running and wrestling already existed then. But the most spectacular, of course, were the gladiatorial fights, the most impressive of which was the naumachia - this is the Roman tournament of sailors, the name roughly translates as "sea battle", a kind of progenitor of sailing. Only in sailing no one kills anyone.
The Romans filled the arena with water, launched boats into it and recreated famous naval battles. Often these were bloody spectacles, where prisoners of war or people sentenced to death participated. Unlike most similar sporting events, naumachia was characterized by an extremely high mortality rate among participants.
8. Venazio
It is difficult to say for whom these competitions were worse - for the slaves or for the animals with which they were forced to fight. In fact, the Romans were so interested in the confrontation between people and animals that at the grand opening of the Colosseum, more than 9,000 wild animals were released against people, some of which were killed. People often suffered the same fate: for example, sometimes the participants were not given any weapons at all, and lions or bears became their opponents, and people had to somehow defeat the hungry beast or die. Often these competitions included some kind of drama: the fighters appeared as heroes of a theatrical plot. Roman authorities thus achieved two goals at once: they executed criminals and provided entertainment for the masses.
Ancient sports would never have taken root in modern world. In this article, we will not talk about the football players of 1940, when they wore leather helmets. Everything will be even stranger and much more than you can imagine.
1. Mesoamerican ball game. America, a country that appeared due to the destruction of the local population and their replacement with criminals. Actually, Maya was preferred to any diet. The latter also stood out for their love of sports.
Long before Columbus discovered America by storm, the official sport of ancient Mexico was a strange game the Maya called Pitz. Since then there has not been a single word English language, which can convey all the cruelty of this game, so we will simply call it the Mesoamerican ball game.
Judging by the image, she was much more fun than the Soviet electronic games. But what can I say - even the graphics of rock art of hell-knows-what-age among wild tribes was better!
The Mesoamerican ball game was almost like volleyball, except that the ball was rubber, weighed at least 4 kilograms, and if you failed, you were beheaded. Players had to keep the heavy ball in the air using only their butts and thighs, occasionally bats, rackets and stones were allowed. By the way, sometimes, injuries from the ball on the player's body were so terrible that they had to be torn open. Well, if the ball hit the athlete in the groin, then he was killed on the spot. Because, well, you know, mercy is what it is.
After the game, the winners will have fun with the ladies and draw scribbles all over their bodies, while the losing team will be stabbed to death and their captain decapitated.
2. Tug of war. Tug of war remains one of the most ancient sports still played today. You may have tug-of-war with your friends at school or summer camp more than once. Tell me, have you tried digging a fiery pit between teams?! And before that they thought of it, and, you see, it makes the fun even more interesting!
Instead of rope, players used animal skins, and given the Vikings' unhealthy love of violence, murder, fire, and an obsession with rape, it was only a matter of time before it all came together in triathlon.
The tug-of-war took place over a fiery pit outside the city they had just captured, with the victors getting exclusive rights to rape all the local women. The winners got all the joys of robbery, and the losers were burned alive.
3. Pankration. While Greece is responsible for many of the inventions and terms of Western civilization and breathed life into many, the ruthless olive eaters are also responsible for the invention of the brutal sport called pankration. Some semblance of a modern martial art, but this ancient sport was too gay to survive to this day.
The entertainment portal site sincerely hopes that
that not a single fighter just took offense at us.
Seriously, this is a story - nothing personal, faggot!
There were no rules, no rounds, no pauses in this blue-eyed fun. The idea was to defeat the opponent using only your body. Punching, kicking, heading, jumping damage, and so on. An ordinary fight without rules, but there was a referee, and he only made sure that the rivals did not kill or injure each other. Naturally, this did not always work out.
This ancient sport was not as cruel as the crowd wanted, and then, it was replaced by those known to this day. The latter were more popular, simply because they killed each other, maimed each other, could be poisoned by animals, and so on. etc.
4. Naumachia. playful sea battle? The Romans also knew this game, they just used real ships. They filled the amphitheater with water, threw the boats into the water and enjoyed the deadly fight. Naumachia means "sea war" and the battles usually parodied scenes from the most famous battles in human history. There were several thousand participants, almost the exact number of real participants in a real battle.
Unlike real battles, nothing washed away the blood on the deck of the ship. Blood, body parts and internal organs simply piled up until they spilled overboard. Many men literally choked on their own blood in the process of this ancient sport. Most died, and, as a rule, they were slaves.
Naval war in Ancient Rome included the presence of flamethrowers such as napalm and was called Greek fire, which ignited at the moment of reaction with oxygen. So, in addition to tons of blood, bloated corpses and severed limbs, viewers could enjoy the slaves burned alive. By the way, appreciate the indifferent facial expressions of the participants in this ancient sport:

Introduction.
Sports have come to us from time immemorial. It is good for health because it makes the whole body work. In the modern world, people move less and less during work. As a result, the body does not receive sufficient load, it becomes less mobile. Fatigue comes quickly. It is followed by constant irritability, and even various diseases can develop.
Sports are especially important for a child. It helps the development of the whole organism. If you play sports, you will always be hardy and in good physical shape.
Sports should be seen as a game. It should be fun and not become a stupid competition for an unattainable result. In this regard, I would like to deepen my knowledge in the history of the emergence and development of sports games.
Sport is forged on the anvil of centuries from the burning desire of people to be strong, hardy and dexterous. If a person was like that, he was proud of it and showed his superiority over enemies and circumstances. History testifies that even during the Stone Age, competitions were held in running, jumping over ditches, throwing stones, boomerangs, arrows and spears. This is evidenced by rock paintings and archeological finds. Many peoples of the world in very ancient times already had games and entertainment with a competitive element.
Sport is a field of activity related to the identification and demonstration of the physical capabilities of people. Sports culture is aimed at developing and expanding human capabilities, conquering new heights, and unlocking the potential of athletes.
Sports games are types of amateur and professional sports aimed at achieving personal and team goals associated with defeating a specific goal (gates, baskets, pockets, game pieces, etc.). Sports games are played with the help of various gaming devices (ball, clubs, gates, playing field, puck, etc.). Being team or personal, they involve the use of tactics and strategy, and not just the basic physical qualities of the athlete (strength, agility, speed, etc.). Academic definition of the term "Sports games". In a figurative sense, the term Sports Games is a complex of sports events - an olympiad, a competition or a tournament. As a metaphor, sport can be imagined as an ongoing duel with the universe, with oneself and with the limitations that the world has given man. Like trying to fly without wings, jumping over your head. An athlete, defeating circumstances, rivals and himself, shows people that “the impossible is possible” and together with each victory of an individual athlete, all of humanity becomes a little stronger.
Sports games can be safely called a universal means of physical education for all categories of the population - from children preschool age to pensioners. With their help, the goal is achieved - the formation of the foundations of the physical and spiritual culture of the individual, the increase in health resources as a system of values that are actively and long-term implemented in a healthy lifestyle. The role of sports games is great in solving the problems of physical education in a wide age range, such as the formation of a conscious need for mastering the values of health, physical culture and sports; physical improvement and health promotion as a condition for ensuring and achieving a high level of professionalism in socially significant activities; natural and individually acceptable development of physical potential, ensuring the achievement of the necessary and sufficient level of physical qualities, a system of motor skills and abilities; physical education general education aimed at the development of intellectual, technological, moral and aesthetic values of physical culture; actualization of knowledge at the level of skills for conducting independent studies and the ability to involve others in them. The effectiveness of sports games in promoting the harmonious development of the individual is explained, firstly, by their specificity; Secondly,
deep versatile impact on the body involved in the development of physical qualities and the development of vital motor skills; thirdly, accessibility for people of different ages and preparedness.
Now I want to consider in more detail the emergence and history of the development of the most famous sports games.
Chapter 1. The history of the development of sports
When did the sport , what was the development of sports and what does the word sport mean for the inhabitants of our planet? Never thought about it? Have you ever thought what it is, why it is so many-sided and so diverse??? Why are both physical and mental activities, as well as activities aimed at revealing some outstanding qualities in a person, called sports? Why?
How did people come to compete with each other, identifying the strongest and, in general, why was this necessary? Let's try to understand a little about all these issues.
If we turn to numerous sources, it can be revealed that sports originated many millennia ago and it is impossible to trace any specific homeland of sports. It can be assumed that it originated with the appearance of a community among people, with the beginning of hunting and with the appearance of some kind of logic in them. Or rather, with the advent of religion. The beginning of sports : in their free time from hunting, gathering, fishing and other activities, ancient people performed various dances and performed numerous rituals in order to appease their gods. At first, people did it out of necessity, and later for their own pleasure.
On the other hand, it can be assumed that the beginning of the sport came with the understanding that bloody wars can be avoided by a simple competition. Remember, in ancient times, at the time of the Olympiad, all attempts to shed blood ceased.
Of great importance in the development of rudimentary sport was the appearance of the ball. It was a kind of explosion that changed not everything, but a lot. Until now, the most popular sports, one way or another, are associated with the ball - football, tennis, basketball, volleyball, rugby, etc. The ball was worshiped as an idol (the ball was considered the most perfect form), it personified the sun. Also known from ancient history that one of the first "balls" were the heads of the enemies. The ball became the main fun in peacetime.
Chapter 2. Sports games. History of origin and development.
2.1 History of football
Football is the most popular team game in the world where you have to fight for a small number of points. The history of the "kick ball" has many centuries. Various ball games similar to football were played in the countries of the Ancient East (Egypt, China), in the ancient world (Greece, Rome), in France (“pa supi”), in Italy (“calchio”) and in England. immediate predecessor European football was, in her probability, the Roman "harpastum". In this game, which was one of the types of military training of legionnaires, it was necessary to pass the ball between two posts. AT Ancient Egypt a football-like game was known in 1900 BC. e. In ancient Greece, the ball game was popular in various forms in the 4th century BC. BC e., as evidenced by the image of a young man juggling a ball on an ancient Greek amphora, stored in a museum in Athens. Among the warriors of Sparta, the epikyros ball game was popular, which was played with both hands and feet. The Romans called this game "harpastum" ("handball") and slightly modified the rules. Their game was brutal. It was thanks to the Roman conquerors of the ball games in the 1st c. n. e. became well known in the British Isles, quickly gaining recognition among the native inhabitants of the Britons and Celts. The Britons turned out to be worthy students - in 217 AD. e. in Derby they first defeated a team of Roman legionnaires.
Approximately in the 5th c. this game disappeared with the Roman Empire, but the memory of it remained with the Europeans, and especially in Italy. Even the great Leonardo da Vinci, whom his contemporaries characterized as a closed person, restrained in the manifestation of emotions,
did not remain indifferent to her. In his “biography of the most famous painters, sculptors and architects” we read: “when he wanted to excel, he found himself not
exclusively in painting or sculpture, but competed in the favorite game of Florentine youths in the football game. When in the 17th century supporters of the executed English king Charles I fled to Italy, they got acquainted with this game there, and after the accession to the throne in 1660 of Charles II they brought it to England, where it became a game of courtiers. Medieval football in England was extremely reckless and rough, and the game itself was, in fact, a wild dump in the streets. The English and the Scots played not for life, but for death. It is not surprising that the authorities waged a stubborn war on football; even royal orders were issued to ban the game. On April 13, 1314, the royal decree of Edward II was read to the inhabitants of London, under pain of imprisonment, forbidding the game in the city ... In 1365, it was the turn of Edward III to ban football, due to the fact that the troops preferred this game to improvement in archery. Richard II in his ban mentioned in 1389 football, dice, and tennis. The T-shirt was liked and eaten by traveling English monarchs - from Henry IV to James P.
But the popularity of football in England was so great that even royal decrees could not prevent it. It was in England that this game was called "football", although this did not happen with the official recognition of the game, but with its prohibition. At the beginning of the 19th century in Great Britain there was a transition from "crowd football" to organized football, the first rules of which were developed in 1846 at Rugby School and two years later refined at Cambridge. And in 1857 the world's first football club was organized in Sheffield. Six years later, representatives of already 7 clubs gathered in London to develop uniform rules of the game and organize the National Football Association.
It was formed in 1863, and the world's first official rules of the game were developed, which received universal recognition several decades later. Three of the thirteen paragraphs of these rules indicated the prohibition of handplay in various situations. It wasn't until 1871 that the goalkeeper was allowed to play with his hands. The rules strictly defined the size of the field (200x100 yards, or 180x90 m) and the thief from (8 yards, or 7 m32 cm, remained unchanged). Until the end of the 19th century. The English Football Association outside ate a number of changes: the size of the ball was determined (1871); introduced corner kick ar (1872); since 1878 the judge began to use a whistle; since 1891, a net appeared on the gate and an 11-meter free kick (penalty) began to break through. In 1875, the rope connecting the poles was replaced by a crossbar at a height of 2.44 m from the ground. And goal nets were applied and patented by the Englishman Brody from Liverpool in 1890. The referee on the football field first appeared in 1880-1881. Since 1891, the referee began to enter the field with two assistants. Changes and improvements in the rules, of course, influenced the tactics and technique of the game. The history of international football meetings dates back to 1873. It began with a match between the teams of England and Scotland, which ended in a draw with a score of 0:0. Since 1884, the first official international tournaments with the participation of football players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland began to break out in the British Isles (such tournaments are held annually even now).
At the end of the 19th century football began to quickly gain popularity in Europe and Latin America.
In 1904, on the initiative of Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) was created.
2.2 Ball game among ancient peoples.
Ritual ball games were once common on all continents.
Ancient leather balls have been found during excavations in Egypt and Greece. According to the legends of antiquity, the goddess Aphrodite gave the first ball to Eros, saying to him these words: “I will give you a wonderful toy: this is a fast-flying ball, you won’t get any better fun
from the hands of Hephaestus. Depending on the ritual, the ball could symbolize the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, and even the northern lights.
Chinese women playing football
In Australia, they were made from the skins of marsupial rats, bladder large animals, from twisted hair.
The Chinese knew the game cujiu, (“Push with the foot”), which was part of the compulsory physical training program for soldiers, mention of which dates back to the 2nd century BC. e., FIFA in 2004 recognized that the Chinese version of football is the most ancient.
The Lakota Indians (Sioux) called the ball game Tapa Banka Yap ("Throwing the ball"). She appeared due to the vision of the leader Huaskn Mani (Walking in Motion). Initially, this game was aimed at ensuring the prosperity of the tribe. The rite required a long preparation, during which an altar was built, symbolizing the center of the Earth.
The Eskimos call the ball game tungatgak. It is carried out with the onset of the first frost. First, the players are divided into two teams. The object of the game is to prevent the opposing team from gaining possession of the ball. The duel, as a rule, stops only late in the evening, by agreement of the parties.
2.3 History of basketball.
A game similar to basketball is known among the Mayans and Aztecs of Central America. The ball was made of molded rubber, it had to be thrown into the ring.
The birthplace of modern basketball is considered to be the United States of America. The game was invented in December 1891 at the Christian Youth Association training center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
To spice up gymnastics lessons, a young teacher, Dr. James Naismith, born in 1861 in the town of Ramsey near Elmont, Ontario, Canada, came up with a new game. He attached two bottomless fruit baskets to the railing of the balcony.
which had to be thrown soccer ball(hence the name basket basket, ball ball). The concept of basketball was born in his school years, while playing duck-on-a-rock.
The meaning of this game, popular at that time, was as follows: throwing one, not a large stone, it was necessary to hit the top of another stone, larger in size, with it. Already, as a teacher of physical education, a college professor in Springfield, D. Naismith faced the problem of creating a game for the Massachusetts winter, the period between baseball and football competitions. Naismith believed that due to the weather of this season, best solution will invent the indoor game.
A year later, D. Naismith, in less than an hour, sitting at a table in his office, developed the first paragraphs of the basketball rules:
· The ball can be thrown in any direction with one or two hands;
The ball can be hit with one or two hands in any direction, but in no case with a fist;
· The player cannot run with the ball. The player must pass or throw the ball into the basket from the point at which he caught it, except for a player running at good speed;
· The ball must be held with one or two hands. You can not use the forearms and body to hold the ball;
In any case, hitting, grabbing, holding and pushing the opponent is not allowed. The first violation of this rule by any player shall be called a foul (dirty play); the second foul disqualifies him until the next ball has been potted and if there was an obvious intention to injure the player, for the entire game. No substitution is allowed;
· Hitting the ball with a fist - violation of paragraphs of rules 2 and 4, the punishment is described in paragraph 5;
· If one of the parties commits three fouls in a row, they must be recorded as a goal for the opponents (this means that during this time the opponents must not commit a single foul);
· A goal is scored - if the ball thrown or bouncing off the floor hits the basket and stays there. Defending players are not allowed to touch the ball or basket while shooting. If the ball touches the edge and the opponents move the basket, then a goal is scored;
· If the ball goes into touch (out of bounds), then it must be thrown into the field and the first player to touch it. In the event of a dispute, the referee must throw the ball into the field. The thrower is allowed to hold the ball for five seconds. If he holds it longer, then the ball is given to the opponent. If either side tries to play for time, the referee shall give them a foul;
· The referee must monitor the actions of the players and fouls, and notify the referee of three consecutive fouls. He is vested with the power to disqualify players under Rule 5;
· The referee must watch the ball and determine when the ball is in play (inbounds) and when it goes out of bounds (out of bounds), which side should have the ball, and control the time. He must determine the defeat of the goal, keep a record of goals scored, as well as perform any other actions that are normally performed by the referee;
· The game consists of two halves of 15 minutes each with a break of five minutes between them;
· The side that scores more goals during this period of time is the winner.
Basketball has changed over time.
At the height of the game, Naismith was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, despite the fact that he was already named after him. Basketball has come a long way since James Naismith. And today is one of the most popular sports in the world, which would not be possible without Dr. James Naismith, the founder of this great game.
2.4 History of the game of volleyball.
Volleyball originated in the USA. It was invented in 1895 by the head of physical education in the Union of Young Christians - William Morgan. He proposed throwing the ball over a tennis net, located at a height of about 2 meters.
The first name of volleyball is mintonet, later it was renamed into a flying ball. The real name of the game was given by Dr. Alfred Holstetz, a teacher at Springfield College.
Volleyball first appeared in public in 1986, a year later the first rules of the game were made public, they consisted of only ten points.
The game quickly spread around the world, numerous US trade and political ties contributed to this.
Already in 1900, volleyball was recognized in Canada, in 1906 in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, and Mexico. By 1913, the flying ball flew to Asia, a tournament was held there at the Pan-Asian Games, it was attended by: Japan, China, the Philippines. And already in 1914, volleyball appeared in Europe, more precisely in Great Britain, then in 1917 it was already in France. In the 1920s, the game began to develop in Eastern Europe- in Poland, Czechoslovakia and the USSR. At this time, official championships of the countries of the European continent begin to be held.
Along with the spread of volleyball in the world, the rules of the game improved, tactics and techniques changed, new techniques were formed. Volleyball is becoming more and more of a team game. Players begin to use power feeds, widely introduce deceptive strikes into the game, pay great attention to passing technique, the role of defense increases, the game becomes more dynamic.
In 1922, after the competition in Brooklyn, the Americans propose to include volleyball in the program of the Olympic Games and are refused. In 1934, at an international meeting of representatives of sports federations, a technical commission on volleyball was created, it included 13 European countries, 5 countries of the American continent and 4 Asian ones.
In April 1947 in Paris, at the first volleyball congress, it was decided to create International Federation volleyball (FIBV).
Sport is where you can get injured. Chess (along with billiards, one of the oldest sports) has been considered a sport since an angry loser hit his opponent on the head with a board and he received a concussion.
2.5 History of chess.
The birthplace of chess is India. The time of occurrence is the first centuries of our era. There is an ancient legend that attributes the creation of chess to a certain Brahmin. For his invention, he asked the Raja (he was delighted with new game) an insignificant, at first glance, reward: as many wheat grains as the chessboard will show if one grain is placed on the first cell, and then
double the number of grains. The number that the chessboard showed could not be found on the entire planet.
A small chessboard is an immense field for countless combinations. Suffice it to say that at the very beginning of the game the player has 20 options for the first move; his partner can respond with 20 moves for each move, that is, the latter already has 400 options at his disposal only for the first move!
From India, chess entered the countries of the Middle East.
This game had a pronounced military character, so it was well received in the countries of medieval Europe. Here chess became known in the X-XI centuries, after the Arabs conquered Spain and Sicily.
From Spain and Sicily, chess gradually penetrated into Italy, France, England, Scandinavian and other countries, despite the most severe persecution of the church, which forbade chess along with the game of "dice" and other "demonic obsessions".
At the end of the 14th century, the Catholic Church officially lifted the ban on chess. The game was recognized as a necessary element of noble education.
The first mention of chess in Rus' dates back to the second half of the 13th century. Archaeological finds dating back to the 11th-15th centuries show that chess has been known and loved in our country for a long time and everywhere. Excavations in Novgorod show that boyars and serfs, merchants, artisans and even clergymen played chess.
The Russian clergy in their rejection of chess imitated the Byzantine one. But the prohibitions of the church could not kill the interest in the game, which managed to win so many adherents and became part of Russian culture. Gradually, the Russian Church stopped mentioning chess as a forbidden game. In the book “The Life of the Russian People”, A.V. Tereshchenko notes: “When raising grand-ducal children, they taught, among other things, the game of chess, no doubt, for the reason that it refined their mental abilities.”
Peter I, going on campaigns, took with him not only chess, but also two permanent partners.
Catherine II was also fond of chess. In 1796, A.S. Stroganov arranged for Catherine II and the Swedish King Gustav IV, who were visiting his country palace, a game of live chess. In a meadow where a “chessboard” was laid out with green and yellow turf, servants dressed in medieval clothes moved in accordance with the moves of a chess game.
Chess was widely spread among the Russian intelligentsia. In the library of A.S. Pushkin, a book by A.D. Petrov, published in 1824, who was the strongest chess player in Russia for half a century, - “Chess game, brought into a systematic order ...” with the author's dedication inscription, has been preserved; Pushkin was a subscriber of the first chess magazine, Palamede, which began to appear in Paris in 1836.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, chess theory continues to develop.
Chess has long been one of the sports. But this does not prevent millions of people from playing chess just like that, finding joy in the game.
2.6 The history of the game of billiards.
Billiards is an ancient game, but at the same time it is very extraordinary, exciting and deep. It is impossible to pinpoint the exact time of the game's origin. Therefore, it is not surprising that many legends, myths and disputes arise around him. One of the main billiard disputes, which has been going on for decades, has become a dispute about
In what country did billiards originate? Many researchers believe that the birthplace of billiards is Asia, according to some - India, according to others -
China. However, in European countries, long before the advent of billiards, there were already games that can be called the prototypes of billiards.
The question of the origin of the word "billiards" remains controversial. According to the English researcher John Wilk, the original name of the game was "ball-yerds", composed of two words of the ancient Saxon language ("ball" - ball and "yerd" - stick). Proponents of another, French version of the origin of the word, point to the French roots of the name: "bille" - a ball, or "billart" - a wooden stick.
The emergence of billiards would be correctly attributed to the historical period when the balls began to be moved with the help of cue-like devices on a flat surface raised above the floor or the ground.
The first official source about billiards in Europe is recorded in the order of the King of France (1461-1483) Louis XI, who once ordered a billiard table to be installed in his apartment. A century later, the French king Charles IX, playing billiards on the infamous St. Bartholomew's night on August 24, 1572, put down his cue and, taking an arquebus, began to shoot directly from the windows of the palace at the fleeing Huguenots. The second historical source refers to a letter written by Mary Stuart on February 17, 1587, on the day of her execution, to the Archbishop of Glasgow, in which the unfortunate queen asks the archbishop to take care of her billiard table, preparing the most suitable place for it. There is also a mention of billiards in the great Shakespeare. Thus, the fashion of kings for billiards influenced its popularity both among its vassals and in lower circles. In 1674, in Lyon, the Frenchman Etienne Liazon publishes the first rules for playing billiards. Subsequently, with the growing interest in billiards, this game spread throughout Europe. During the reign of the French King Louis XIV, when billiards had the highest fashion at court, Michel Chamillard (1652 - 1721) was recognized as the best player, who made a dizzying career from a petty official to a minister of war.
In 1698 Peter I brought the first billiard tables from Holland, one of which he installed in his reception room. Gradually, following his example, many nobles began to start billiards in their estates. During the reign of Anna Ioannovna (a big fan of billiards) and Elizaveta Petrovna, billiards in Russia is most widespread.
The first billiard tables had many technical imperfections. The sides were not elastic and the balls, hitting them, were not reflected; with rough cue sticks it was impossible to give the ball a lateral rotation; the board on which the balls rolled was not very even and hard. The game looked very primitive. The improvement of the billiard table also affected its shape. Modern billiard tables come in a wide variety of sizes, ranging in length between 250 - 275 cm, and the width between the sides - 140 - 153.5 cm, height from the floor - up to 2.5 feet. According to the size - billiards are called: small, medium (cabinet) and large.
In 1870, billiards was recognized as an independent sport. This event happened thanks to the held match for the title of world champion in billiards. The game took place in San Francisco and included John Deary and Cyril Dion. John Deary became the first billiards world champion. Since then, the development of billiards as a sport has progressed by leaps and bounds. Today we can observe many billiard virtuosos at a wide variety of tournaments.
2.7 History of the game of hockey.
The term "hockey" itself was formed from the English "hockey", or from the old French "hoquet", meaning "shepherd's crook with a hook."
Hockey is a sports team game with sticks and a puck (or ball), the content and purpose of which is, using individual dribbling and passing the ball by a partner, to score it as many times as possible into the opponent's goal.
Even before the advent of hockey in the 16th century of Holland, there were games with a ball and sticks on ice. Then similar games appeared in England and Scandinavia, where they later developed into bandy on ice in the 19th century.
Modern ice hockey as a sports game originated in Canada. This is a country whose climate and nature (numerous reservoirs freezing in winter and long winters) created good conditions to distribute this game. At first, they played not with a puck, but with a heavy ball, and the size of the team reached 50 or more players on each side.
In the 1870s ice hockey in Canada was a mandatory game for all sports holidays. The first hockey rules were formulated by students at McGill University in Montreal. The classic hockey goal had not yet been invented at that time, their role was played by two posts that marked the space into which the puck should fall when hitting the goal.
In 1879 the Canadian UV. Robertson formulated the rules of hockey, and at the same time a rubber puck was proposed for the game. The Amateur Hockey Association was founded in Montreal in 1885. The first official rules for the game of ice hockey were published in 1886, which have been preserved as much as possible to this day. Changes were made to them in terms of the size of the team: the number of field players decreased from nine to seven; the conditions for finding the number of players during the game on the field have changed: the goalkeeper, the front and rear defenders, the central and two wingers could be on the ice, and the area in front of the gate was the arena for the actions of the strongest hockey player - the rover.
In 1899, the world's first indoor ice hockey stadium with an artificial ice rink was built in Montreal, designed for an unprecedented number of spectators - 10,000 people. In the same year, the Canadian Amateur Hockey League was founded.
Hockey match in Montreal (Canada), early 20th century
The first professional hockey team was organized in the country where hockey originated - in Canada in 1904. Four seasons later
This team was finally divided into professionals and amateurs. At the end of the 19th century, Canadian hockey came to Europe. In 1914, professional ice hockey clubs merged into the National Hockey League (NHL). And in 1908 Great Britain, Bohemia, Switzerland, France and Belgium founded the International Ice Hockey Federation (LIH, after 1979 - IIHF).
The rules of the game were constantly changing: for example, in 1900, a goal net was invented, which made it possible to accurately determine whether a goal was scored against a team. Later, the sizes of hockey rinks were established, the game time was set (three periods of 20 minutes), the number of players on the field was reduced to 6 people, it became possible to replace players not only for health reasons. The Patrick brothers also left us their innovations - they introduced a system for assigning a number to each player, new system scoring, the site was divided into certain zones. In 1929, goalkeeper Clint Benedict put on a mask for the first time, and in 1945, multi-colored lights were installed outside the goal for a more accurate count of goals scored (“red” - a goal, “green” - a goal was not recorded). In recent years, women's teams have begun to appear in hockey, which in 1998 were included in the program of the Olympic Games.
Chapter 3. The history of the emergence and development of athletics.
Even in ancient times, a person needed to be able to run fast, deftly overcome various obstacles, and throw various kinds of projectiles. From the ability of a person to catch up and accurately hit the prey, from the ability to be persistent and hardened in the fight against the mysterious forces of nature, his hunting luck, and hence his life, depended.
Athletics is one of the most popular sports, to say the least. After all, in a wide circle of sports fans, she bears the title - the Queen of Sports.
Athletics is one of the oldest sports. 2800 years - this is the age of athletics (if we take into account the I Olympic Games in 776 BC).
Several centuries before our era, the peoples of Asia and Africa held competitions in running, jumping, throwing, but this was especially widespread in Ancient Greece. Special gymnasium schools were created here, in which young men did physical exercises, developed strength, speed, dexterity, and endurance.
The birth of modern athletics is attributed to the late 18th and early 19th centuries in the British Isles. Running took place on high roads between cities or at hippodromes (1770 - an hour run, the result of the winner is 17300m; 1803 - John Todd ran from Hyde Park to Oxbridge Roy in 4.10.0 (a little less than a mile distance); 1789 - jump from sixth 1.83m; 1792 - 1 mile run (1609.3m) with a score of 5.52.0; 1827 - high jump with a running start (157.5cm); 1838 - hammer throw (19.71m); 1839. - shot put (8.61m)).
In general, the Olympic debut of the "Queen of Sports" was held in Athens very modestly. Athletes competed in only 12 types (compare: now the track and field athletics program has 43 types). In total, less than a hundred athletes came to the start. For example, only five jumped high. Much more participants gathered competitions in gymnastics and shooting.
The specific date of birth of modern athletics is considered to be 1837. - competition between students of Rugby College in the UK at a distance of about 2 km.
The birth of athletics in the United States is associated with the creation in 1868. New York Athletic Club.
1870-1890 - the emergence of athletics associations in many developed countries.
In the 30s. scientific and methodological foundations began to be created in the USSR modern system training of athletes. With the introduction in 1931 of the Ready
to Labor and Defense of the USSR” (TRP), track and field athletics has become one of the most popular sports.
In 1968, the European Athletics Association was founded. - EAA, uniting 35 national federations, including the USSR (1972), in the late 60s - early 70s. the athletics federations of Asia, Africa, Latin American countries, New Zealand and Oceania are organized.
CONCLUSION
So, we have considered the topic “Sports games. History of origin and development. Judging by all the above, we can conclude that since ancient times, a universal and absolutely reliable way to improve health and increase longevity is a well-known sport, a method that requires inexpensive medicines and technical devices, but only the will and some efforts on oneself.
Sports games and physical education are integral elements of physical culture, the purpose of which is to develop the body, motor skills, improve physical qualities, skills and abilities.
The variety of sports games makes it difficult to define. In our opinion, a sports game is a voluntary activity that takes place according to certain rules and is characterized by excitement, in which the emotional side dominates the utilitarian-practical side and which brings satisfaction and joy not only from the result, but also from the process itself, both to the direct participants in the game and its observers (spectators, fans). When defining a sport game, we cannot completely abstract ourselves from the utilitarian-practical side, especially in relation to professional sports. However, even in the most, it would seem, far from any professional gaming activity, for example, in children's hide and seek, there is already a desire for a result - victory, success - the achievement of which is accompanied by additional joy, and failure - grief, which, however, does not overlap. emotional positive elation and satisfaction from the very process of the game.
Nevertheless, it is the sports game that ennobles the participants, helps to strengthen the collectivist principles, especially in team sports games, and teaches chivalry and nobility. It is difficult to overestimate the role of a sports game in the physical development of its participants, in ensuring a healthy and active lifestyle, although in modern big professional sports it is not without costs when the loads of individual athletes go beyond the permissible range, which can lead to undermining health and even death of an athlete during training or competition. Finally, the development of sports games realizes the task of forming patriotic principles. On the one hand, this is facilitated by the revival of folk (folklore) games, which, for example, is the Russian lapta, which is experiencing its second birth today and even entering the international level, acquiring an international character. On the other hand, international competitions in sports games are held under the flags of states, they involve the performance of national anthems, both before the start of the game and in the procedure for awarding the winners, cause empathy and, accordingly, a surge in the patriotic mood of the fans (humanity has not yet matured to cosmopolitan views, the relevance of patriotism is early cancel). Healthy manifestations of national self-consciousness have nothing to do with chauvinism; national pride does not at all imply neglect of other cultures and ethnic groups. In addition, the Russians, and especially the state-forming - Russian - ethnic group, have yet to overcome an inferiority complex, which is largely facilitated by the success of Russians in sports in the field of big-time sports.
Sport should be a companion of every person throughout his life - only then sport can bring tangible benefits. Many physical
deficiencies and ailments can be treated with sports. It should not be forgotten that a person spends most of the daytime at work and, as a rule, in a room where
the possibilities for a variety of movements are extremely limited. This causes various congestion in the body, leads to a slowdown in blood circulation, and can cause some ailments.
It remains to be hoped that the sports game will take an increasingly worthy place in the gaming activity of a modern person, and this trend obliges to close attention and research of the sports game as a socio-cultural phenomenon.

The history of the origin of sports
In the earliest stages of human development, the struggle for existence dictated its own laws. Physical strength and dexterity in hunting, war and in the distribution of prey played a very important role. Aborigines in Australia to this day have retained as a hunting method the pursuit of an antelope or a kangaroo by running - until the animal gets tired. History of sports in states ancient world The history of the development of sports has unusually long roots. Traces of physical culture and sports were found in the early states (IV-III millennium BC). Ritual competitions in honor of the god Marduk, the patron saint of Babylon, preceded the ancient Greek Olympics by more than a thousand years. These competitions included archery, belt wrestling, fencing with swords, fisticuffs, horseback riding, chariot racing, javelin throwing, and hunting. The history of sports is very rich in interesting and beautiful events. People have competed in various competitions since ancient times. Sport has always been a good alternative for mankind, contributing to a peaceful, healthy life. |
ancient sports
Today there are a large number of completely crazy sports, but in the old days there was something to brag about too. Or something to be afraid of. Some games have sunk into oblivion - and they have long been forgotten. So this top is just a history lesson.
Lapta - Russian folk team game with a ball and a bat. Mentions of bast shoes are found in the monuments of ancient Russian writing. Balls and bats were found in layers of the 14th century during excavations in Novgorod. The game is played on a natural site. The goal of the game is to send the ball tossed by the player of the opposing team as far as possible with a bat and run alternately to the opposite side and back, not allowing the opponent to “snap” himself with the caught ball. For successful runs, the team is awarded points. The team with the most points in the set time wins. Related sports include baseball, cricket, pesapolo in Finland, oyna in Romania, and others.
Even before the advent of football, the official game of ancient Mexico was a strange game that the Mayans called pitz. In some versions, it is called the Mesoamerican ball game. They played almost like volleyball (although the rules, by and large, remained unknown), and a weighty ball (about 4 kg) rolled from natural rubber played the role of the ball. Points were counted for attacking the opponent's wall, and were deducted if the ball touched the ground more than two times. Any team could earn the respect of the public and even win at the end. To do this, it was necessary to throw the ball over a vertically located rim, which was at an incredible height.
The winners went to celebrate the victory, and the losers ... Opinions differ here. Historians suggest that sometimes the game took on a ritual character: it was part of a ceremony of sacrifice to the ancient gods ... Although it is difficult to say who exactly was chosen as a victim: winners or losers. Now the game has acquired more civilized and peaceful features. It is called "ulama".
Virkerfest
Tug of war is one of the ancient games that is still played today. The rope can be pulled through various obstacles: a swamp, a pond. But no one would have thought to pull him through a pit of fire. And the Vikings figured it out. Animal skins were used instead of rope. Again, the fate of the losers is vague: according to some versions, they could well become victims of the militancy of the Vikings.
Eleferria or "corrida" with elephants
This game was played in 54 AD. e. in Rome. In the so-called "venation", the players had to face a monster called "The Animal of Carthage". Actually, they were elephants.
In addition to having to fight the elephants, each slave (and it was the captive slaves who played) understood that the probability of survival did not exceed two percent. Well, we may have gone too far with percentages: how could the slaves know about percentages ... Anyway, it was a deadly gladiatorial game. The Romans played this game so often that North African elephants were threatened with extinction...
Pankration
The ancient Greeks are famous not only for the creation of Western civilization, but also for the invention of the hard game of pankration, which, at the same time, can be considered an advance in the terrifying list of ancient “games”. This one was very similar to the modern martial arts mix, except that there were no rules, no rounds, no breaks. It was necessary to get close enough to the enemy to gain control over him. At this stage, it was necessary to use blows, grabs, wrappings and other tricks that would force the opponent to surrender.
This sport was even included in the program of the Olympic Games of the ancient world, and athletes developed many techniques and techniques.
The game consisted in the fact that 8 guys jumped into a fishing boat and sailed along the Nile. Then they started to fight: right in the middle of the river. The battle was very fierce: there were no wounds, as well as without falling overboard. It's hard to believe, but many fishermen of that time, not like ordinary people, didn't know how to swim... So many simply drowned... And we shouldn't forget about crocodiles and hippos, which immediately appeared when on boats screams began, and at least a little blood appeared in the water. As you understand, animals also contributed to this game, in which it is very difficult to discern at least a fraction of common sense...
Naumachia
This game is a sea battle, only with real ships.
Everything is pretty simple. The Romans made a kind of amphitheater with water and real ships that were supposed to fight like in a real battle. The Romans called the game naumachia, which means "military operations using naval forces." The number of participants reached several thousand, and everything happened almost the same as in a real battle.
It was not easy to find several thousand men ready to fight on these ships, so many of them were probably slaves, as in the case of gladiator fights ... And, in general, it is completely incomprehensible why such spectacles were established, given number of ancient wars. It was quite possible to sell tickets for those battles. But, apparently, the audience demanded something else ...

But the main principles remain the same:

The net is placed at a height of 2.43 m and 2.25 m for men and women, respectively. In teams of 5 people. Players change places as the ball is served.
