In the article, the authors consider the types of punishment for doping in sports in the Russian Federation, from the point of view of criminal law. Particular attention is paid to the difference between a simple violation of sports rules and a real crime, and who exactly is being held accountable (coaches and doctors, not athletes). The authors analyzed judicial practice for the years 2022-2024: special attention was paid to the fact that there are very few real sentences, and punishments are most often mild (fines or suspended sentences). The authors also touched upon the conflict between th...

Studying the sport of "Power Extreme" broadens the horizons of readers, enriches their ideas about the possibilities of the human body and its development. The article examines the history of the emergence and development of extreme Strength, describes the main exercises used in this sport, the authors introduce the reader to the necessary technical means and equipment used in sports. The authors pay special attention to safety issues during training and performance at competitions, in order to comply with personal safety measures and prevent injury.

В данной статье авторы обращают внимание читателя на спортивный снаряд «Йок» (супер-йок или коромысло), как на одно из основных зрелищных стронгменовских упражнений в виде спорта «Силовой экстрим». Также авторы рассматривают историю появления «Йока», от «Переноски холодильника» до современного состояния и о том, как идея из простого упражнения на переноску эволюционировала, пока не стала одной из визитных карточек силового экстрима.

In the article, the authors examine the physiological mechanism of muscle acidification in swimmers using fins over short distances. It explains why muscles become fatigued quickly over distances of 50, 100, and 200 meters due to the accumulation of hydrogen ions, and what nutritional strategies — from carbohydrate loading to buffer supplements — can delay fatigue. Examples from the practice of titled Russian and foreign athletes are provided, along with data from clinical studies. Special attention is paid to the regulatory framework for sports nutrition in Russia, including mandatory labelin...

This paper examines the competitive nature of the sport known as “strength extreme.” The authors identify the key differences between strength extreme and other strength‑based sports, in particular powerlifting and weightlifting. They reveal the key features and disciplines in which competitions are held under the auspices of the Russian Strength Extreme Federation.

The article examines how a swimmer’s body manages breath‑holding during competitions when wearing fins. It explains why an overwhelming desire to breathe arises, how carbon dioxide and oxygen deficiency affect this, and what psychological skills help the athlete maintain control. Special attention is paid to the current regulatory framework: Federal Law No. 329‑FZ, the rules of the sport “underwater sports” (Order of the Ministry of Sport of Russia No. 979), and the federal standard for sports training (Order No. 1023). It is emphasized that any breathing techniques should only be used under t...

The article examines the issues of popularizing a healthy lifestyle (HL) among young people. It substantiates the relevance of fostering healthy habits among schoolchildren and students. It reveals the main components of an HL and provides arguments in favor of its necessity (energy, mood, freedom). It debunks common myths about an HL as a boring and restrictive activity. It offers simple steps to start leading a healthy lifestyle. The material is presented in an accessible form, aimed at a wide audience, including schoolchildren.

The article provides a comparative analysis of two types of propulsion devices — bilast and monofin — from the perspective of coaching practice, which is focused on developing and adjusting athletes’ technique. The study focuses on the differences in the kinematics of the rowing motion: trajectories and amplitudes of the working and preparatory phases when using each type of fin are examined in detail, as well as the biomechanical parameters that determine the efficiency of the impulse. The “cost” of one rowing cycle is analysed in terms of metabolic and mechanical expenditures — in particular...
