- Abstract:
- This work is devoted to the study of the process of formation and institutionalization of strength extreme as an official sport in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that in 2021, strength extreme was included in the All‑Russian Register of Sports, which marked the transition from scattered show tournaments to a systemic sports discipline with clear rules, standards, and official recognition. The article examines the historical prerequisites for the emergence of strength extreme, the key stages of its development, the role of prominent organizers and athletes, as well as the scientific and methodological aspects of athlete training. Special attention is paid to analyzing current trends in the development of the sport, including the development of federal standards for sports training and the implementation of scientifically grounded methods for the training process.
