This is the first time in the history of China to create a set of national aerobics. Where can I find a professional gymnast? Yang Lie thought of Liu Yizhen, a colleague of the Preparatory Committee of the All-China Sports Federation. Liu Yizhen was born in the Department of Physical Education of Beijing Normal University. She studies Japanese gymnastics. Why not ask her for help?
Liu Yizhen readily agreed. "I am also a member of the Preparatory Committee of the Sports Federation. I can do something for the sports in new China. What is there to hesitate about? " Liu Yizhen, who is 86 years old this year, recalled, "I have been practicing gymnastics for several years."
As early as in college, Liu Yizhen began to make a kind of "Chili Exercise" and spread it throughout the school. "The physical education department has a tape recorder and a recording of' Chili Fuck'. Every morning, I get up with a tape recorder and go to the playground to do Chili exercises. Some students follow me. There are more and more people slowly, and there are more than 100 people at most. "
Radio music aerobics
Liu Yizhen's "Chili Exercise" is a kind of unarmed exercise introduced from Japan and accompanied by music.
1928, Japan promulgated the first set of national aerobics, guided by the music played by the radio. Because the coverage of radio stations is very large, people all over the country can listen to radio music and do gymnastics at the same time and in different places. Therefore, the Japanese affectionately call this kind of gymnastics "broadcast gymnastics".
With more and more Japanese coming to China, "Broadcast Gymnastics" was brought to China. The pronunciation of Japanese "radio" is very similar to Chinese "pepper", so people in China call this kind of gymnastics "pepper exercise".
"When I was studying at Normal University, the teachers who taught us gymnastics were all Japanese teachers." Liu Yizhen still clearly remembers her gymnastics teacher's name as Shi Jincheng. "Japan has five sets of broadcast gymnastics, two sets of health gymnastics, two sets of female youth broadcast gymnastics and two sets of male youth broadcast gymnastics. I have all these materials. " It is precisely because he has a well-thought-out plan that the task of creating national aerobics is not difficult for Liu Yizhen.
"The purpose of the national aerobics movement is to let people get up in the morning, simply exercise and devote themselves to a day's work. For students, there are two classes in the morning, and there is a need to rest in the middle. " For this purpose, the time of national aerobics should not be too long, the movements should not be too difficult, and the whole body should be active.
Japan's broadcast gymnastics movements are nothing more than the exercise of limbs, chest and back, waist and abdomen. There are many basic movements in unarmed gymnastics. As long as they are combined, these parts can be exercised, even if the goal is achieved. According to Japanese broadcast gymnastics, Liu Yizhen quickly determined the basic framework of the first set of broadcast gymnastics in New China: 1 bar *** 10, with a total length of about 5 minutes.
The first section is "lower limb movement", and the content is actually the first step; Then the second paragraph is called "limb movement", which actually means bending your legs and stretching your arms. These two paragraphs are a prelude, and the main purpose is to move the body away. From the third quarter, the intensity of exercise gradually increased. The third section "chest exercise" requires lunging to expand the chest and continue to exercise the limbs. The next three links, "Body Side Movement", "Rotation Movement" and "Abdominal Back Movement", shift the key parts of exercise to the waist and abdomen, and "Abdominal Back Movement" is the most difficult, requiring the body to lean forward, the knee joint to be straight, and the fingertips of both hands to touch the ground. Liu Yizhen, who was born in sports, probably didn't expect that this action was quite difficult for ordinary people. The "jumping movement" in the eighth section is followed by the "finishing movement", which makes the human body gradually calm down from the state of strenuous exercise. Because the Japanese "Chili Exercise" ended with breathing exercises, Liu Yizhen added a "breathing exercise" after the "finishing exercise", and the whole exercise was over.
