摘要:The paper analyses the soviet experience of utilising the BGTO-GTO standards (Be Ready for Labour and Defence of the USSR-Ready for Labour and Defence of the USSR!) for promoting the physical fitness of yachtsmen of various ages and specialisations. It has been shown that, despite the fact that in the USSR, every athlete had to present documents stating that they passed the GTO standards (BGTO for children) before every All-Soviet and All-Russian competition, the physical fitness of the yachtsmen was at an extremely low level. Around 10% of the leading yacht racers at the 1st All-Soviet summer student games of 1985 practically did not know how to swim; up to 50% of the participants of the RSFSR Cup of 1987 could not perform the GTO standards for their age groups. An effective method for motivating athletes to become better physically fit and to be able to perform at the simplest GTO standards became the use of the “Competition Rules”. It was enough to implement passing the norms as a prerequisite for being allowed to the regatta for just one season to make the number of men that were unable to complete the running norms (due to their inadequate physical fitness) practically drop to zero; within two seasons, virtually 100% of the leading yacht racers began to pass the running test with excellent results.
