The words "Ready for work and defense!" long gone out of use and are firmly associated among modern people with the times of the Soviet Union. But few people know that these are not just words, but the name of a set of standards for physical education, the implementation of which gave the golden badge to the TRP - the highest award of this kind. The standards of the USSR have returned to our life recently, so anyone can receive this coveted award.
History reference
TRP standards were developed in 1930 in order to familiarize the population with a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, the bronze, silver and gold badges of the TRP were introduced, standards, for the delivery of which these badges relied. Gradually, the norms were improved, various levels were introduced, corresponding to the ages of the dealers. Some researchers point out that it was good physical fitness that helped young people and girls better prepare for the hardships of the unexpected start of the war: throwing skills, physical strength, endurance - all this helped to adapt more quickly to the conditions of the front.
After the war, the TRP began to develop in the direction of preventing occupational diseases and restoring the health of the nation. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the complex was almost forgotten, and only in 2014 it was again introduced at the legislative level. Today, with due diligence, anyone can pass the TRP standards to the golden badge, which will give its owner a number of advantages.
How it works: steps
After historical information, it's time to go on to explain how the system of standards “Ready for work and defense” is structured. As before, it is aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle among the population, while being generally accessible and optimal for all segments of the population. The complex has eleven steps corresponding to the age of those involved in sports.
The first stage - boys and girls from 6 to 8 years old, the second - from 9 to 10, and the third - from 11 to 13. The fourth and fifth stages are designed for young people from 13 to 15 and 16 to 17 years old, respectively. The sixth level of the TRP standards is for men and women from 18 to 29, the seventh from 30 to 39, the eighth from 40 to 49, the ninth from 50 to 59, the tenth from 60 to 69, and the eleventh from 70 and older. It is noteworthy that the golden badge of the TRP can be obtained only at the first seven steps, then the system rests on the enthusiasm of those involved in sports.
How it works: standards
Each step has a series of tests, some of which are mandatory (although sometimes there are variations depending on, for example, the region in which the dealer is located), and the delivery of the other part depends on one’s own desire. Of course, with increasing the step, the tests become more complicated: for example, a six-year-old boy must be wrung out 17 times to get the highest award, and for a 17-year-old boy this is already considered too easy an assignment - he is invited to raise the weight 35 times.
In total, the complex includes forty different standards, but, of course, half of them are not mandatory: for example, at the age of 35, a woman needs to pass 5 standards, two of which have options to get the golden TRP badge.
Specific numbers
Now let's move on to specific numbers and comparisons. Those who have wondered how to get the golden TRP badge need to familiarize themselves with the delivery regulations, which indicate the results necessary for receiving the award. Take, for example, a test such as leaning forward. At the first and second stage, children are supposed to stand and with straight legs touch the palms of the floor - the standard is mandatory. In the third, that is, as early as eleven years, the norm passes into the category of "optional", but the requirements for the gold badge remain the same.
For boys and girls at the age of 14, the slope is again obligatory. At the age of 16, the situation becomes more complicated: now the dealer is already on the gymnastic bench and still stretches down with straight legs. And only if the fingers of the young man are 13, and the girls are 16 centimeters lower than the bench, they have the right to claim the distinction. At the sixth step, young men are only allowed to bend down by 10 centimeters, and then, closer to thirty years (crushing appears here before and after 25 years), women after 25 are enough and 13 centimeters against the previous 16. By forty years the requirements are even easier: 4 and 6 centimeters respectively. From 50 to 70 years, you only need to reach the floor with your fingers, and this time without the gymnastics bench that has accompanied the athlete for so long. At the highest, eleventh step, in order to be eligible to claim the gold badge of the TRP, it is enough to touch your fingers in an inclination to the ankle. And from the fourth to the last step, this test is mandatory.
Thus, it is not at all difficult to trace the change in the requirements for the candidate for the award. It can be seen that the tests are made taking into account the age and physical condition of a person during this period of his life. Moreover, usually the test takes place under the control of a person who can provide first aid.
What for?
Few insignia give as many advantages as the golden TRP badge. The main advantage for applicants is the addition of points to the exam results, their number depends on each particular university. For those who, due to health reasons, cannot perform the tests to receive the highest award, while having the opportunity to receive only a silver or bronze badge or not having this opportunity at all, separate standards will be developed.
But it is necessary to take into account the fact that it is far from possible to pass tests - only twelve regions of the country have the right to take this exam. By decision of the government, residents of other places, unfortunately, will be deprived of this privilege.
Where and how?
After it became known that the golden badge of the TRP gives, it is time to clarify how to get it. Standards can be passed in regional DOSAAFs. Be sure to do this cadets of the Society for Assistance to the Army, Air Force and Navy, only those who, due to their health condition, will not pass the test, are released. With the variability of the mandatory test, the local authorities are authorized to independently choose what standards the applicants for the distinction mark will have to fulfill, and they must be based on the climatic conditions of a particular region.
Before each test, those who take it should listen to instructions on how to complete the exercise (if the test is performed incorrectly, the norm is considered not passed). All results are recorded in a special gradebook for passing the TRP standards. Of course, the dealer must be admitted for medical reasons, he provides a certificate of this even before the start of the test.
Overall rating
It is noteworthy that the standards of the TRP are fun for the sake of some athletes. They do not pretend to any distinction signs, they simply show by their example that there is nothing complicated in these tests, they are available for every person who is watching their health at least a little. In principle, if you study the requirements, it becomes clear that you do not need to professionally engage in sports, regular exercises are enough - then getting the coveted badge will not be difficult.
Finally
It is clear that a reward of this level is not so easy to obtain: before you pass the TRP to the gold badge, you have to sweat on the sports grounds. But at the same time, all the work will pay off handsomely, because the delivery of these standards only stimulates people of all ages to strive for the best sports results, to take care of their health. Sport is a life that rewards for your efforts make it even more complete. You should try not for the badge, but first of all for yourself.
PS
Sometimes the city authorities hold an indicative delivery of TRP standards. For example, in Kaliningrad, even the mayor of the city participated in the festivities, who easily performed a test to raise weights for a 50-year-old man. So sometimes you don’t need to immediately go to DOSAAFs to show yourself, just follow the events of your city.
