ATHLETIC FITNESS NEW CATEGORY
Athletic Fitness is a sports which was introduced to Estonia from the Nordic countries. It has been practiced there for years and it has also been included in Estonian Championships of bodybuilding from 2010.

Being included in Arnold Classic Competition, Athletic Fitness is definitely on the verge of a great break-through in the world. It has already won over many ordinary gym-goers in Estonia.

The difference between athletic fitness and bodybuilding is that in addition to body round (quarter turns), athletes must also compete in strength (chins and dips) and endurance (rowing on a rowing machine for 1.30 minutes).

IFBB 2012 jaanuaris kinnitatud Athletic Fitnessi reeglid eestikeeles: SIIN

[BRIKI 29]

RULES: ATHLETIC FITNESS

Rounds

Elimination. If there are more than 15 competitors in one category, the elimination is done

by assessing physique in four quarter turns as in fitness. The procedure and the judging

criteria are the same as in fitness. Men`s attire as in fitness, women`s attire as in bodyfitness

(black two-piece bikini). Any kind of footwear is prohibited.

Prejudging

Round 1 (Physique Round; Quarter Turns). Presentation, scoring and assessment of R1 as

in fitness. In R1 every athlete gets an individual placing. Ties are broken using the relative

placement method.

Round 1

Prejudging

Round 2 (Strength Round; Pullups and Dips). Pullups are performed first. There must be at

least 3 stations (one for every 5 athletes). The athletes are grouped in numerical order

(station 1: numbers 1-5, station 2: numbers 6-10, station 3: numbers 11-15). Three judges

count the repetitions at each station: one judge must see from the level of the bar that the

chin reaches over the bar, one judge must stand behind the athlete to see that the arms are

completely straight (locked out) at the bottom position and one judge must see from the side

that there is no swinging of the body. Every judge counts the correct repetitions with a

„clicker“. Judges may give instuctions to the athlete during the performance but no

argumentation is allowed on the stage after the performance. The highest and the lowest

number of repetitions is eliminated, score will be the averange amount of reps. When all the

athletes have completed their pullups, dips will follow. The dips are performed in the same

groups and order to give equal time for recuperation. One judge stands behind the athlete

and other judges at both sides to see that the elbows are locked out at the top position, the

„depth“ is adequate ( shoulders must go below the elbow line) and there is no swinging of

the body. The tempo used to perform pullups and dips must be moderate, so that the judges

can distinguish and count correct repetitions.

Scoring of Round 2. According to the number of reps, each athlete will get a place in

pullups and a place in dips. If two or more athletes have the same number of repetitions,

they will get the same place. the Place in Round 2 = the place in pullups + the place in dips.

Ties will not have to be broken in this round.

Round 2

Prejudging

Round 3 (Endurance Round; Ergometer rowing). There must be at least 5 ergometers.

Athletes are divided into heats according to their placings after R1 and R2. (In case of an

equal score, the place in R1 is decisive.) The lowest placed athletes perform in the first heat

and the highest placed athletes in the last heat. Behind each ergometer a judge must stand

to prevent the movement of the ergometer during rowing. The distance for ergometer rowing

is 1000 meters. After the last heat all the athletes get their placings in Round 3. It is possible

but very rare in practice that two or more athletes finish with the same time. In that case

they will get the same place in R3.

Round 3

NOTE: an alternative for Ergometer rowing machines can be Speed jumping or Plyometric

Exercise jumping. The 3rd Round method will be mentioned in the Inspection Report.

Scoring of Prejudging. the Prejudging place = R1 place + R2 place + R3 place. All three

Rounds will be 1/3 of the total score. In case of a tie, the placing in R1 is decisive.

FINALS

The top six athletes advance to the finals. They start from „zero“ and carry out the full

program: Physique Round, Strength Round and Endurance Round.

Finals Round 4 (Physique Round; Quarter Turns). R1 is presented, scored and assessed

as in fitness Finals. Attire is the same as in Prejudging.

Finals Round 5 (Strength Round). One by one (in numerical order) the six finalists perform

pullups and then dips.

Finals Round 6 (Endurance Round). Six ergometers are needed, so that all the finalists can

perform in one heat. Alternatively Plyometric Speed jumps will be performed.

Scoring of Finals. Scoring system is the same as in Prejudging.

Categories

Women -163cm and +163cm

Men -175cm and +175cm

Descriptions of technique

Chin-ups:

It is required to use an overhand grip. The maximum width of the grip is 1 meter : from the

little finger to the little finger. The body is in a hanging position, meaning that the elbows are

locked out and the back straightened out. The body is now pulled upwards until the chin

reaches over the bar, then lowered back to the starting position. During the exercise, the

body may only move in a vertical way, the positioning of the feet must not be changed. The

tempo used to perform pull-ups must be moderate, so that the judges could distinguish and

count the correct repetitions.

Dips:

Before beginning the exercise, the body must be in a locked position, meaning that the

elbows must be locked out, and the body is in a vertical position. The body is then lowered

until the shoulders have reached below the elbow line. During this exercise, the body must

not swing and must move only in a vertical way, and, once again, the positioning of the feet

must not be changed. The tempo used to perform dips must be moderate, so that the judges

could distinguish and count the correct repetitions.

Ergometer rowing:

This exercise consists of two phases—the preparatory phase and the drive phase. At the

end of the preparatory phase, the arms are extended forward until straight, the shoulders

and the neck are in a neutral position, and the upper body slightly bent forward. The shins

are vertical and the legs firmly bent from the knees. The space between the seat on the

monorail and the knees should be about 15-20cm. The drive phase begins with a push as pressure is exerted to the foot plate until the legs have straightened out. The upper body is

then slightly leaned back by contracting the core muscles and the hands are drawn back to

the lower ribs, the arms must remain straight from the wrists.

The drive phase ends, and the preparatory phase begins by promptly bending the upper

body forward, then allowing the knees to bend and slide the seat forward on the monorail.

The knees may be bent only after the arms have reached over the knees. When compared

to the clock, it is recommended that the body moves from eleven o’clock to one o’clock,

excessive bending is not recommended. In order to achieve rythm and smoothness, it is

necessary to ensure that the drive phase generates enough force, and the preparatory

phase lasts long enough to allow the muscles to relax in order to prepare for the next drive

phase. It is recommended to start with three partial and forceful strokes in order to achieve

necessary velocity for completing the distance.

Põhjamaadel kasutati huvitavat versiooni athletic fitnessist, mis muudaks selle palju kiiremaks ja mis kuulus üldisesse võistlusprogrammi, mitte muule ajale. Minuarvates ainuvõimalus võistluse kiirendamiseks, ilma et peaks midagi ära jätma.

Head vaatamist!

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/26303895

[lkv 362]

See on jah huvitav versioon, samas teeb võistleja jaoks ala veel raskemaks.

Kristian Seweni blogist lõik selle võistluse kohta:

The strength and rowing, it was a completely new approach to. We drove three at a time from the same class. First chins> 1min rest> Dips> 1min rest> 1000 meters rowing! Sooooo tough approach: D

Chinsen went well. It was not that strict rules last week and I pulled off 41 reps but got only 33 approved. 1 min rest and then I did 45 dips 43 of which each authorized.

, we did not use magnesium so I am pretty happy with chins results anyway. Dipsställningen was probably the narrowest and perhaps most slippery I ever dippat on, so are really pleased with the outcome as well, especially after chinsen and so short rest. And now it was rowing. Heart rate was already high and the arms and upper body fatigue. But competing against the long-term as well so was forced to do a good result here, I thought. Started as usual but soon realized that it would never last that lowered the tempo slightly. After 500 meters I was exhausted .... The legs screamed and I changed the technique just to not tokdö. When it was 200 meters to go I closed my eyes and increased the pace and gave everything I had left.

Awesome fun competition and incredibly well organized. Exciting approach to strength round / boating. But I prefer ordinary layup more. Feels just better than this arrangement.

Kui on valida, kas teha kiirelt ja see muudab võistluse raskemaks või selle vahel et võistlust ei ole võmalik võtta kavva kuna see võtab kaua aega ja jääb ajaliselt lohisema nii ,et suurema arvu võistlejate puhul pole enam huivtav vaadata, valiksin siiski esimese variandi. Inimesed teevad triatloni ka kus veest väljatulles tõmmatakse kuivad riided jooksu pealt selga ja raata selga ja sealt edasi otse joksma, see oleks enam vähem sama, vahe selles, et ühel juhul kestab pingutus sõltuvalt distantsis 1 tund kuni 8 tundi ja teisel juhul on tehtud 10 min....seega täiesti võrreldamatu pingutus ja samas kui võistlejatel on ühesugused tingimused võidab ikkagi kõige tugevam ja vastupidavam....

Kui on valida, kas teha kiirelt ja see muudab võistluse raskemaks või selle vahel et võistlust ei ole võmalik võtta kavva kuna see võtab kaua aega ja jääb ajaliselt lohisema nii ,et suurema arvu võistlejate puhul pole enam huivtav vaadata, valiksin siiski esimese variandi.

Jah aga samas on see ju siis täesti erinev ala. Ei saa ju 20km rattasõitu ja triatloni võrrelda. Selline ülesehitus muudaks ala kontseptsiooni, kui võistleja on ikkagi valmistunud 5minutilist pingutust vahedega tegema, siis on ju mõeldamatu, et ta teeks kõik alad järjest. Tekib ka aga koht, et kellel jääb rohkem ja kelle vähem aega alade vahel puhata. Oled Helenaga ühes grupis ja saad 1 minuti kauem puhata, kuni ta vehib dipse teha. Minuarust selline stiil tekitab rohkem küsimusi ja aga kohti võistluses endas. Ei taha uskuda, et alasid kordamööda tehes läheks rohkem aega kui need koos tehes. Üks lõpetab dipsid on järgmine juba puki juures. Eurokatel ju tehti nii? Muidugi on ühe mätta otsast pilt ilus, kuid peaks ju arvestama ka võistlejatega. Ei ole ju paslik, kui bürokraadid teevad kuskil kontoris enda äranägemise järgi reegleid. AF-i ümbes on ikka väga palju segadust, kuna ala on noor.

[Arnold 76]

Mina pakun AF-i toredaid MP põlvpükse, paljud poisid kindlasti rõõmustavad.

Või mida teie arvate?
