However, the information about the trip to learn from the scriptures preserved today is very scarce, and we can't know the specific situation of the sports delegation's visit to the Soviet Union from the literature.
But at least one thing is certain. The "labor hygiene system" of the Soviet Union greatly inspired the members of the China sports delegation.
"Labor health system" is abbreviated as "preparing for labor and defending the sports system of the motherland".
193 1 03 14 In March, at the initiative of Lenin Youth League, the Physical Education Committee of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union promulgated the first "work-and-health system", which encouraged citizens, especially teenagers, to actively participate in various sports through the level test of sports, so as to improve their physical strength, endurance, speed and dexterity, and set standards according to age groups. It includes a set of gymnastics based on labor and health.
At that time, the national gymnastics in the Soviet Union developed very comprehensively. Their gymnastics is divided into three categories, one is sanitary gymnastics, the other is auxiliary gymnastics, and the other is instrumental gymnastics. Hygiene exercise is generally a kind of gymnastics conducted by radio or alone in the morning, which is generally called "morning exercise". It consists of 8 stages to 12, and the time is about 10 minutes to 15 minutes, which can be divided into women's gymnastics and elderly gymnastics.
The "work-health system" gymnastics is very similar to "aerobics". It does not need special venues, equipment, clothing or equipment, nor does it need prior technical training. People of different ages, sexes and different health conditions can do it and get exercise, so it is very popular with the Soviet people.
Yang Lie is deeply inspired by this unique form of sports, which is easy to popularize on a large scale.
After returning from the Soviet Union, the Preparatory Committee of the National Sports Federation decided to learn from the experience of the Soviet Union in developing sports, clearly stipulating that no large-scale sports meeting will be held during the period of economic recovery, and emphasizing popularization. Sports work should go from schools to factories, from military to local, from cities to rural areas, with emphasis on schools, factories and troops.
At this time, Yang Lie's report was submitted to the Preparatory Committee of the National Sports Federation, suggesting to create a set of national aerobics, mobilize people to participate in physical exercise, and improve the physical quality of the whole nation. Her suggestion coincides with the idea of putting mass sports first at the beginning of the founding of New China.
As early as1September 2, 9491day, the first session of China People's Political Consultative Conference was held and the same program of China People's Political Consultative Conference was adopted, which stipulated "promoting sports for all". The All-China Sports Federation, which is in charge of national sports work, has also entered the preparatory stage. At the preparatory meeting of the General Sports Association, Zhu De said to the sports workers: "Sports is a part of culture, education and health care, and our central authorities attach importance to it. ..... In the past, sports were divorced from the broad masses of the people. Now our sports must serve the people. "
Therefore, Yang Lie's report was quickly approved.
