When discussing the concept of fitness qigong, we can't ignore a basic premise, that is, in February 2003, the State Sports General Administration established fitness qigong as the 97th sports event. This premise means that it is necessary to explore this concept within the scope of sports, that is, health qigong needs to embody the basic spirit and purpose of sports and to determine its own unique sports form. If we look at health qigong from the perspective of qigong outside the scope of sports and regard it as a category of qigong, then this premise means that health qigong is a kind of sports qigong combined with sports.
"Fitness Qigong" is a compound word composed of "fitness" and "Qigong". According to the premise that fitness qigong is a sports event, discussing the concept of "fitness qigong" can be divided into three steps, that is, first discussing the meanings of "fitness" and "qigong" and their relationship with sports, and then discussing the meaning of this compound word.
The meaning of "fitness" is relatively clear, and this word consists of two words: "health" and "body". The relationship between "health" and "body" is the relationship between "causative usage" in ancient Chinese. The former dominates the latter, and together, the two words mean "to keep healthy". In daily life, this word is often associated with various sports, such as "aerobics" and "fitness ball", which is inevitable. Because "keeping healthy" is a goal, and to achieve this goal, we must implement some specific behaviors, and the behaviors related to this goal are first of all various physical activities. Sports can be said to be a general term for all kinds of physical activities. Therefore, it is not only inevitable but also natural that fitness and sports are linked together. Fitness embodies the basic spirit and main purpose of sports, and colorful sports can fully implement the purpose of fitness.
It is not comprehensive to describe sports as a general term for all kinds of physical activities, because modern sports also include some intellectual activities, such as chess. However, the main body of sports is indeed physical activities, and the basic categories of these physical activities include physical education courses, competitive sports, daily physical exercise and sports entertainment activities in school education. It should be noted that there are differences and connections between various physical activities, and the classification is not absolute. Although the basic purpose of these physical activities is fitness, physical education courses focus more on the development and training of physical functions, while competitive sports aim at achieving results and breaking records, not necessarily for fitness; In contrast, daily physical exercise and sports entertainment activities are closer to the purpose of fitness. Physical exercise here mainly refers to daily physical activities such as doing broadcast gymnastics and playing Tai Ji Chuan, while physical entertainment refers to roller skating? Recreational activities related to physical activities, such as bowling, do not include entertainment activities such as watching movies and listening to music. It can be seen that in terms of fitness purpose, physical exercise is more clear and direct than sports entertainment, which can be said to be a representative form of sports for fitness purpose.
