Competitive pursuit of "higher, faster and stronger", pursuit of "winning", pursuit of "breaking records" and pursuit of "exceeding the limit". For ordinary people, or for anyone's health, "exceeding the standard" means "anti-exercise" and "anti-health"
National fitness is to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body through physical activities, which is essentially an "ultra-limit" movement against damage to the body. It emphasizes "let the body move".
In order to make people "move" voluntarily, it is necessary to take some necessary and interesting forms, which is called "competition" However, the development of the competition can make people pursue "winning", so the movement moves towards "higher, faster and stronger" and then moves towards "exceeding the limit". Although its spirit is commendable, the purpose of sports is the opposite of its original intention-it begins to damage health.
However, competitive sports originated from sports activities after all, and it is still a form of sports, and it is the most ornamental and exciting form, so it can arouse the public's interest in sports and let the public exercise.
Another difference is that competitive sports are realized by "professional training", and national fitness is closer to "game" than that kind of professional training. From this perspective, competitive learning belongs to vocational training, and fitness learning belongs to sports.
