From Ancient Gymnastics to Online Fitness Training -- Evolution and Perspectives in Physical Training
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Research in Education and Science (ICRES) (Cappadocia, Turkey, May 18-21, 2023)
All the Olympic Movement activities have been set to promote sport, culture and education, drawing inspiration from the physical training practiced by the ancient civilizations in the Middle East and Asia. From the very first evidence of men's interest in training the body through disciplined exercises, 7000 years ago, the spread of sport was meant to cultivate the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles. The present study analyzes the alternatives offered by sports trainers and fitness coaches, highlighting the positive, long-term aspects, as well as the evolutionary and revolutionary steps taken towards the diversification of physical training programs in accordance to a large variety of the public. If ancient gymnastics involved only athletes, we currently observe a tendency to identify the movement needs of people according to age, ailments, the body's ability to withstand effort, etc. The modern trend is to design and customize training according to one's needs, and online training programs are well suited to successfully accomplish this mission. Therefore, we are going to prove the importance of online fitness apps for the continuing education of mind and body together with the perpetuating of Olympic education principles.
