Historical Development of Broadcast Gymnastics

On November 24, 1951, the first set of broadcast gymnastics was announced. On the same day, the Preparatory Committee for the All-China Sports Federation, the Ministry of Education of the Central People's Government, the Ministry of Health of the Central People's Government, the General Political Department of the Central People's Revolutionary Military Commission, the Central Committee of the New Democratic Youth League of China, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the All-China Democratic Women's Federation, the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth, the All-China Federation of Students and other nine units issued on the implementation of radio gymnastics activities of the joint The notice was issued by nine organizations. At the same time, the Broadcasting Bureau of the General Administration of Information of the Central People's Government and the Preparatory Committee of the All-China Sports Federation jointly decided to organize radio gymnastics programs on the Central People's Radio Station and people's radio stations in various places to lead the people of the country to do gymnastics. 25 November 1951, the People's Daily published an article entitled "Everybody Do Radio Gymnastics" by the Radio Gymnastics Research Group of the All-China Sports Federation. The radio gymnastics program of the Central People's Broadcasting Station started broadcasting from December 1, 1951, and people's radio stations all over the country started broadcasting one after another. When the loudspeaker sounded every day, millions of people did gymnastics to the radio music, which was an unprecedented novelty in Chinese history.

Since 1951, when the first set of adult broadcasting gymnastics was issued, China has issued nine sets of adult broadcasting gymnastics. The history of broadcast gymnastics is a microcosm of China's mass sports, but also contains the youthful memories of generations of Chinese people. Looking back on the 60 years of radio gymnastics, it may help us understand the fundamental purpose of sports: to make more people physically fit in sports.

The proposal to create a national fitness program coincides with the idea of developing mass sports.

Toward the end of 1950, a handwritten report was submitted to the preparatory committee of the All-China Sports Federation, suggesting that the new China create a set of national fitness exercises. The man who typed the report was Yang Lie, then secretary of the committee.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, sports in the new China had just begun. The National Sports Federation had not yet been formally established, and there was only a preparatory committee acting on its behalf, which was directly managed by the Central Committee of the Youth League. The Preparatory Committee was located in a small building at the south entrance of Wangfujing, with the National Youth Federation, and there were only a few staff members. At that time, there was no foundation for sports in the new China, no venues, no equipment, and only one regular stadium in Beijing, the Xiannongtan Stadium, which was built in 1937. In addition, there is not even a basketball court with bleachers.

In August 1950, the Preparatory Committee of the General Administration of Sports sent the first sports delegation of new China to the former Soviet Union, hoping to learn and emulate the sports system of the Soviet Union at that time. Yang Lie was the only woman among the 12 members.

Born into a wealthy family of overseas Chinese merchants, Yang Lie traveled east to Japan as a young woman to study gymnastics and sports management. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, she interrupted her studies and moved to Yan'an to join the revolution. In Yan'an, Yang Lie gave full play to her sports expertise, organizing large-scale group exercises and other colorful sports activities. After the founding of New China, Liao Chengzhi, the chairman of the All-China Federation of Democratic Youths, who was in charge of sports at the time, personally brought Yang Lie to Beijing and asked her to give advice on sports in New China.

Over two months, the delegation examined the development of sports in the former Soviet Union. At that time, the former Soviet Union had a comprehensive development of gymnastics for all. Their gymnastics was divided into three categories, one for hygiene drills, one for supplementary gymnastics, and one for apparatus gymnastics. Hygiene exercises were a kind of gymnastics performed in the morning according to the radio or alone, generally known as "morning exercises", consisting of eight to twelve sections, lasting about 10 to 15 minutes, and divided into two kinds: women's gymnastics and geriatric gymnastics. Yang was inspired by this unique form of exercise, which is easy to promote on a wide scale.

After returning from the USSR, the General Administration of Sport's preparatory committee decided to learn from the experience of the former Soviet Union in the development of physical education and sport, and made it clear that in the period of economic restoration, there would be no large-scale games, and the focus would be on popularization. Sports work from schools to factories, from the army to the local, from the city to the countryside, focusing on schools, factories and troops.

At this time, Yang Lie's report was submitted to the preparatory committee of the General Administration of Sports, suggesting the creation of a set of national fitness exercises as a means of mobilizing people to participate in physical exercise in order to improve the physical fitness of the entire nation. Her suggestion, which coincided with the idea of prioritizing the development of mass sports at the start of the new China, was quickly approved.

Creating Chinese radio gymnastics with reference to the Japanese "chili drill".

Creating a set of national fitness gymnastics was a first in China's history. Where to find professional gymnastic talents? Yang Lie remembered his colleague Liu Yizhen, who was also on the preparatory committee of the All-China Sports Federation. Liu Yizhen is the North Normal University of the Department of Physical Education class, has studied Japanese gymnastics, why not let her help?

Liu Yizhen readily agreed. "I am also a member of the General Administration of Sport Preparatory Committee, can do something for the new China's sports, what is there to hesitate." Liu Yizhen, who is 86 years old this year, recalled, "It's been a long time since I did gymnastics."

As early as during the university, Liu Yizhen began to do a kind of "chili pepper exercise", but also in the whole school has done to promote. "The Department of Physical Education has a tape recorder, and 'chili drill' record, every morning, I get up, I take the tape recorder to the playground to do 'chili drill', there are students follow me to do, slowly more and more people, the most time there are more than 100 people."

The "chili pepper exercise" that Liu Yizhen refers to is a kind of unarmed exercise with musical accompaniment that was introduced from Japan.

In 1928, Japan issued the first set of national fitness exercises, which were directed by music played on radio stations. Because radio stations had such a wide coverage, people from all over the country could listen to the radio music and do the exercises at the same time and in different places. That's why the Japanese affectionately call it "radio gymnastics".

With the increase in the number of Japanese coming to China, "radio gymnastics" was brought to China. The pronunciation of the Japanese word "broadcast" is very similar to the Chinese word "chili pepper", so the Chinese called the gymnastics "chili pepper exercise".

"When I was a student at the Normal University, we were taught gymnastics by Japanese teachers." Liu Yizhen still vividly remembers her gymnastics teacher's name as Makoto Ishizu. "There are five sets of Japanese broadcast gymnastics, the Houshang Gymnastics, two sets each of women's youth broadcast gymnastics and men's youth broadcast gymnastics, and I have all this information." It was because of the success of the program that the task of creating a national fitness gymnastic program was not difficult for Liu Yizhen.

"The purpose of the national fitness exercise movement is to allow people to get up early in the morning, simply move their bodies, so that they can enter the day's work in a refreshing manner. What about for students, who need a break in the middle after two classes in the morning." With this purpose, the national fitness exercise can not be too long, the movement can not be too difficult, but also the whole body to move to.

Japanese radio gymnastics movements, nothing more than limbs, chest and back, waist and abdomen exercise. There are a lot of basic movements in unarmed gymnastics, and as long as they are combined to work out all these parts, they are considered to have achieved their purpose. Liu Yizhen according to the Japanese radio gymnastics, quickly determined the basic framework of the first set of radio gymnastics in New China: a **** 10 subsections, total length of about 5 minutes.

The first section is "lower limb movement", the content is actually the first step; immediately after the second section called "limb movement", in fact, is to bend the legs, stretch arms. These two sections are considered a prelude, the main purpose is to move the body open. From the third subsection, the intensity of the movement will gradually increase. The third section, "Chest Exercise," requires lunging and expanding the chest, and continues to exercise the limbs. The next three sections, "Side Exercises," "Turning Exercises," and "Abdominal and Back Exercises," shift the focus of the exercise to the lumbar and abdominal areas, with the "Abdominal and Back Exercises" being the most difficult. Abdominal back exercise" is the most difficult, the action requires the body to bend forward, the knee joints straight, the fingertips of both hands touch the ground. Sports origin Liu Yizhen probably did not expect, this action is still quite difficult for ordinary people. After the eighth "jumping movement", is "finishing movement", so that the human body from the intense movement state gradually calm down. Because the Japanese "chili pepper exercise" is a breathing movement as the end, so Liu Yizhen also in the "finishing movement" after the "breathing movement" added a section of "breathing movement", the whole set of exercises will end.

Liu Yizhen created this set of radio gymnastics movement order of thought, became the later choreographer *** with the principle of compliance: first from the heart farther, smaller load upper or lower limb movement; middle by the chest, body side, body turn and abdominal and dorsal movements, gradually increase the amplitude and load; and then into the more intense, the largest load of the whole body movement and jumping movement; and finally finishing movement or relaxation movement to end. The movement ends with a finishing or relaxation movement.

The text description of "lower extremity exercise" looks very professional, but in fact it is just walking in place.

Just when Liu Yizhen was happy to have finished making up the movements, she suddenly realized that the real trouble lay ahead.

Weaving radio gymnastics is not a physical education class, do demonstrations, verbal explanations on the line, which is to be published in the form of text and wall charts to meet with the people of the whole country, so there must be a supporting text description.

This matter if placed today, will be much easier. But at that time, the general public's sports literacy was very low, and they had no concept of sports terms, and the level of sports professional development was also very low. How do you put these 10 sections of action into words, scientifically?

"At that time, I had so little gymnastic terminology that I didn't know what to say for many of the movement descriptions. The names of the body parts, the directions of the movements, they were not clear." Liu Yizhen said. Is it called the neck or the neck? Call it the stomach or the abdomen? Is it called the heel or the heel? Is it a diagonal reach or a side supination? Is it bending the arm or flexing the arm? ...... It was confusing. Issued to the whole country, if you can not use the scientific and uniform instructions, then in the future to do the drill, it must be a variety of what movements are out.

Liu Yizhen had to bring in a Japanese dictionary of gymnastics terms and do the translation.

"For example, 'zhen' and 'lift' are different. Lifting' is a very hard movement, while 'vibration' is a swinging process that goes through different parts of the body in turn. This wasn't even very clear to me before I made up the drill." With the help of a dictionary of Japanese gymnastic terms, Liu Yizhen finally put together a text description for the first set of broadcast gymnastics. Thus, we see this explanation on the illustration of the first set of broadcasting gymnastics: the left leg lifts the stock and bends the knee, and restores it; at the same time, the right arm swings forward and the left arm swings backward naturally; and then the right leg lifts the stock and bends the knee and restores it; at the same time, the left arm swings forward and the right arm swings backward naturally. This is the first set of new China's first set of radio gymnastics, the first section of the action "lower limb movement" of the text description, look quite lively, seems to be very professional, in fact, it is just walking in place.

Composers often protested when it came to scoring radio gymnastics.

After the movements and textual descriptions were completed, there was still the need for music to accompany the gymnastic movements. Liu Yizhen was recommended to the famous composer He Shide, who had written the majestic "Song of the New Fourth Army," and it was only natural that he should be asked to compose the music.

But it's never easy to make music and gymnastics movements fit together perfectly. The State General Administration of Sport Institute of Gymnastics expert Lu Huanhuan explained: a good piece of music has its own rhythm, and to be very coherent, but the radio gymnastics movement is divided into sections, a section and a section of the pause between, from the point of view of the soundtrack there must be a difference between the gymnasts to be able to listen to and understand. To the radio gymnastics soundtrack, choreographers require that the action be completed in a few minutes and seconds, and the music must have a pause when it reaches a few minutes and seconds.

"We haven't finished saying what we want to say in the music, you can't make us stop!" Composers often make this protest, but there is no way to accommodate the movements. So getting the gymnastic movements and the music to fit together perfectly was always the biggest challenge in the recording. When the musicians of the Central Orchestra recorded the fifth set of broadcasting gymnastics, it took them three or four all-nighters to complete the recording. The fifth set of radio gymnastics was released in the 1970s, back in the 1950s, the technical equipment conditions were worse, and the recording was of course more difficult. Unfortunately, the music for the first set of radio gymnastics is hard to find today.

The model on the wall chart of the first set of broadcasting gymnastic exercises is not a small one. According to Liu Yizhen's memories, she wanted to model the wall charts herself, but on second thought, she should have looked for a male model, who would have looked better with a stocky body. So she found John Ma, a teacher at Tsinghua University at the time. John Ma is a famous Chinese physical educator, he has a son named Ma Qiwei, the young man from childhood like to participate in sports, physical development is very good, body fit, do radio gymnastics illustration on the model is suitable.

November 24, 1951, the People's Republic of China **** and the country's first set of radio gymnastics officially promulgated. This was exactly one year after Yang Lie first proposed the creation of a national fitness gymnastic program.

On this day, the Preparatory Committee for the All-China Sports Federation, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health of the Central People's Government, the General Political Department of the People's Revolutionary Military Committee of the Central People's Government and nine other organizations jointly issued the Notice on the Promotion of Radio Gymnastics Activities.

On Dec. 1, the Central People's Broadcasting Station (CPB) broadcast the music of the radio gymnastic exercises for the first time.

Radio gymnastics, once introduced, received great attention from leaders at all levels, which was inseparable from the urgent needs of the time.

At the start of the new China, life expectancy was a staggeringly low 35 years, and infant and child mortality rates were as high as 20 percent. 1950 saw the outbreak of the war against the U.S. and North Korea, and a simple physical examination kept many young men out of the army.

Now there is a set of radio gymnastics that can strengthen the body, but also fresh and interesting, from top to bottom are very happy to implement. Because of the radio gymnastics at that time must use the form of radio, so the central and local people's radio stations have become the implementation of the "flag bearer". They have invited local education, health, trade unions, youth and women's organizations *** with the discussion, organized the "radio gymnastics implementation committee". A large number of "radio gymnastics backbone training class", "radio gymnastics teaching station", "radio gymnastics implementation team" sprang up from all over the world.

On June 20, 1952, the National Sports Federation was formally announced. The next day, the People's Daily published an article titled "Radio Gymnastics is Commonly Promoted Across the Country," which summarized in detail the fruitful results of the six-month promotion of radio gymnastics.

At that time, radio gymnastics programs were already being broadcast across the country by the Central People's Radio and 40 people's radio stations in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. These programs occupied 52 wavelengths per day, totaling 1,205 minutes. At the same time, the People's Broadcasting Equipment Factory also worked overtime to meet the needs of the listening inconvenience or listening equipment is not perfect in the region, has supplied 3,800 "radio gymnastics" records.

According to incomplete statistics from 13 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chongqing, the number of people who participated in radio gymnastics reached 1,048,000; among them, the most enthusiastic were students from various schools, with 230,000 students participating in Beijing alone, and more than 80% of students in Shanghai practicing radio gymnastics every day.

The Soviet poet Gikhonov, who visited in the 1950s, wrote in a poem: "...... When the Beijingers come out to do radio gymnastics, driving the last nightmare out of their sleep, the city's neat alleys and streets are all of a sudden transformed into a sports ground. " In September 1952, seven-year-old Xie Dong in Chongqing, an arsenal children's elementary school went to school, the first physical education class is to learn the first set of radio gymnastics. At that time, the school's playground was built on rolling hills and was divided into three main blocks. The upper primary (grades 5 and 6) students were doing children's exercises on one piece of the playground, the primary and secondary (grades 3 and 4) students were "playing lotus gun", and they, the junior primary students, were learning the newly promulgated broadcasting gymnastic exercises.

"The children's drill is hard and powerful, and the movements are more difficult; playing the lotus gun is to hollow out a bamboo pole, put copper coins inside, which is more than a meter long, and then juggle it around." Four years older than Xie Dong's brother in the fifth grade, wearing the school uniform rationed bean-sand color uniforms every day to do child exercises. But in the second year, the boy drill and playing lotus gun were gone, because the radio gymnastics were fresh and interesting and the movements were handsome, those older brothers and sisters in the upper grades began to follow them, the little ones, to learn the radio gymnastics.

In the 1970s, radio gymnastics reigned supreme.

"Develop sports, enhance people's physical fitness; exercise to defend the motherland." This slogan, which we used to be very familiar with, contains the strong desire of a nation: the body is the capital of the revolution, and exercising the body is to defend and build the motherland!

Before the reform and opening up, some places had basic sports facilities, but they were seldom very simple, or even large stadiums at all. Middle school in the 1970s, as long as the wind blows, the dust in the sky, blowing people can not even open their eyes. If you fell down on the field, the coal slag made a bloody mess. When it rained, you played soccer on the mud field, deep and shallow, and when the sky cleared and the mud dried up, the field was full of muddy footprints. Having well-maintained pitches and green grass in those days was something one couldn't imagine in those days.

Radio gymnastics in the sixties and seventies of the last century, almost everyone in the student age is in its company. In that era, or even earlier, with the radio gymnastics music, "the crowd do gymnastics" is a spectacular scene, this scene, has been y buried in people's nostalgia for the rambling. Radio gymnastics is a prototype of modern physical culture and modern civic politics. During the hot construction years the government advocated that the body is the capital of the revolution Exercise is a means to an end, and the goal is better engagement in work. Whether you join the mass fitness movement or not is not up to your personal choice; it is a necessity of the revolution. For many people, radio gymnastics is more of a symbol that reminds of work, the beginning of study time and reminds people to activate their bodies.

March 2005, the introduction of swimming, martial arts, bowling, archery, shuttlecock, aerobics and other basic movements of modern sports, "Popular Radio Gymnastics" once again refreshed the history of radio gymnastics. Be given a distinctive color of the times of this exercise, I do not know whether people once again stirred up the enthusiasm of the entire population to do radio gymnastics.

From August 9, 2010, the music of the radio gymnastics will be broadcast on Beijing Sports Radio at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. every day. Radio gymnastics used to be a very important form of fitness for Chinese people, and the sight of millions of people doing it together has been unforgettable for generations.

On July 16, 2013, a video of radio gymnastics went viral on Weibo, featuring a group of Chinese students doing radio gymnastics with Chinese characteristics in a square in front of Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom. The international students started "stretching" with slogans and did the radio gymnastics "The Times Are Calling". What is the most popular sport in Chinese history? Soccer? Basketball? I think it's probably radio gymnastics. "Now begin to do, the seventh set of radio gymnastics, march in place - walk", thick and loud baritone voice, I believe that many Chinese people's most profound memory of radio gymnastics. It accompanied us through childhood, teenagers, went to college, went to work, you will often meet with this music.

Some people have commented that radio gymnastics is a prototype of a modern physical culture and modern civic politics. From its inception, it has had a historic mission to exercise and continue the revolution. Even in Shenzhen, which is said to be young and modern and internationalized, it is y imprinted. Every weekday afternoon at 3:30, to the Civic Center to see, there will certainly ring your most familiar music, there are a lot of people in the corridors swinging hands and feet, follow the rhythm of the exercise it. The seriousness of their efforts is no less than when we were in first grade. This also proves the charm of radio gymnastics.

Reviewing the development of nine sets of radio gymnastics, whether from the design concept of movement, or to the promotion and acceptance of radio gymnastics, are y imprinted with the times.

Today's 80s are still hours, the implementation of the seventh set of radio gymnastics, each time in the teacher's request, stand up just enough to bench high children, ignorantly in the playground stretching and bending, has not been clear, why every day to do the same game. By the time the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics was born and promoted, people's attitude towards it was no longer so solemn and sacred, and a large number of funny and even spoof versions of the video appeared on the Internet, with words such as "awkward", "horrible", "fun! The word "awkward", "scary", "funny", and so on, are used to express a total challenge to the tradition. It is precisely because of the increase in the number of sports to choose from and the comprehensive enrichment of people's cultural and recreational life that they can subvert the seriousness and prudence of the past, and look at this sport, which is also common and healthy, with a relaxed and normal mindset. Radio gymnastics is a popular form of workplace exercises for the majority of workers, and has been the main form of workplace exercises for enterprises and institutions since the first set of radio gymnastics was announced in 1951. In the "Healthy Beijingers - Ten-Year Action Plan for Health Promotion for All" issued by the Beijing Municipal Government in 2009, it was determined that the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions and the Municipal Sports Bureau would take the lead and join hands with the Bureau of Health *** with the promotion of the workers' inter-work (pre) exercise program, and it was explicitly stipulated that it was necessary to ensure that each employee would have one fitness activity per day for not less than 20 minutes each time.

The state attaches great importance to the development and popularization of radio gymnastics promotion, about every five to ten years will be updated according to the development of society and changes in national physical fitness, each set of radio gymnastics have distinctive characteristics of the times, August 8, 2011 onwards passes is the ninth set of radio gymnastics. In 1951, the Preparatory Committee for the All-China Sports Federation and the Central Broadcasting Bureau*** decided to organize radio gymnastics programs on the Central People's Radio and people's radio stations around the country, and announced the first set of adult radio gymnastics on November 24 of the same year.

More than two years after the launch of the first set of radio gymnastics, at the request of the masses, in 1954, the state promulgated a second set of radio gymnastics. The second set of radio gymnastics was rearranged and adjusted to increase the amount of exercise and the difficulty of the movements.

Because the first two sets of gymnastic exercises were heavily based on the former Soviet Union, the third set of broadcasting gymnastic exercises, introduced in 1957, incorporated many movements from traditional Chinese martial arts. In the creation, also invited a number of martial arts masters. This set of broadcasting gymnastics has a stronger Chinese character, and this feature has been continued in the later broadcasting gymnastics.

On April 15, 1963, the fourth set of radio gymnastics was officially announced. Radio gymnastics soundtrack has a loud male voice beginning, "The Chinese people **** and the country's fourth set of radio gymnastics - the times are calling!" . For the first time, the fourth set of broadcast gymnastics appeared in a minority language version. In the movement of the first three sets of broadcast gymnastics principle to simple and good to learn the main, to the fourth set of time will begin to tend to mature.

During the Cultural Revolution, the radio gymnastics movement was suspended, and in 1971, the State Council and the Central Military Commission issued a notice announcing the fifth set of radio gymnastics to the nation.

In 1981, the sixth set of radio gymnastics officially met the public. Its movements were novel and stretching, and for the first time, it was equipped with two pieces of music rich in national styles, which could be used alternately as a way to increase people's interest in doing the exercises.

In May 1990, the National Sports Commission continued to launch the seventh set of broadcast gymnastics. It also invited Li Ning, the most famous gymnast at the time, to model. However, according to later surveys, people generally reflected that its movements were difficult and not easy to master.

In 1997, the National Sports Commission announced the eighth set of broadcasting gymnastics, which gained the widest popularity, and was resumed in August 2010 after it stopped broadcasting in 2007.

Set 1: The simplest movements

On November 24, 1951, it was officially announced. This set of radio gymnastics has the simplest movements, with basically only one movement in a session.

Set 2: increase the lower limbs

Officially announced in July 1954, the amount of movement than the first set of larger, and moderate increase in the amount of lower limbs, the difficulty of the movement has also increased. The "Breathing Exercise" and the "Finishing Exercise" were canceled because it was felt that breathing was inevitable in the practice of each movement.

Set 3: Becoming the fashion of the day

It was officially announced in 1957. It was reported that more than 90% of the students at the Central Party School of China*** insisted on doing radio gymnastics twice a day to three times a day; surveys also showed that this set of gymnastics had an effect on improving appetite and sleep. At that time, the third set of radio gymnastics became fashionable.

Set 4: adding a new version

In 1963, the fourth set of radio gymnastics appeared for the first time in minority languages. Compared with the movements of the first three sets, the fourth set of gymnastics tended to mature, and in addition to the continued increase in the amount of exercise, the movements began to emphasize novelty and grace.

Set 5: adding new movements

On September 1, 1971, the official announcement was made, absorbing the advantages of the first four sets, the movements were novel and lively, the movable parts were more comprehensive, the difficulty and the amount of exercise were slightly larger than in the past, and movements imitating the images of production labor and dance were also interspersed.

Set 6: adding new music

September 1, 1981 formally met with the public, the movement is new, stretching, the first time to formulate two rich national style music, can be used alternately, increase the interest in gymnastics. During that period, the seriousness of the work of radio gymnastics was higher than ever.

Set 7: design difficulty

Launched on May 8, 1990, the most famous gymnast at the time, Li Ning, was specially invited to do the model, making wall charts. According to later surveys, people generally reflected that this set of movements is more difficult.

Set 8: Reduced Difficulty

On June 20, 1997, the official launch of the seventh set of hope and other sports to compete with the design concept is different, the eighth set of movements designed to simplify the design of the designers hope that anyone can learn it, not because of the movement is too difficult to fumble.

Set 9: highlighting the style

Launched on August 8, 2011, the ninth set of broadcasting gymnastics is also known as the "Broadcasting Gymnastics". The ninth set of broadcast gymnastics is also known as the Popular Broadcast Gymnastics. Popular Broadcast Gymnastics" consists of 8 sections of unarmed gymnastics, *** counting 4 minutes and 45 seconds. It is "scientific and simple, popular and practical, according to local conditions, fitness and fun" as the principle, while maintaining the characteristics of traditional broadcast gymnastics, the introduction of martial arts, shuttlecock, swimming, bowling and modern dance and other fashionable movement of the basic movements, highlighting the "healthy, joyful, era It highlights the style of "health, joy and era". Radio gymnastics produces medium-intensity exercise stimulation for exercisers, which has a positive effect on improving the sensitivity of the joints of the body, enhancing the strength of large muscle groups, and promoting the improvement of the functions of the circulatory system, respiratory system and mental conduction system.
