I. Equipment and training equipment of the horting gym

The complete list of equipment and individual gear required for conducting combat horting training activities includes five mandatory categories of equipment:



2. Shared equipment for general developmental exercises


3. Individual training and hygiene equipment of the athlete


4. Attributes and visual agitation, organizational and methodological support



5. Mandatory equipment according to safety and hygiene requirements of training


II. Specialized equipment and inventory of the combat horting sports hall for specialized exercises (special inventory for approximately 10-12 people)

Specialized equipment for a horting gym

1. Greyhound (training, competition area)


2. Humanoid dummy for throwing techniques


3. Long heavy bulk hanging bag (30-40-50-60-70-80-90 kg)


Main sizes and performance options of long specialized punching bags for horting:


Long bag option (sleeve, cone). The universal bag (sleeve, cone) is also long and suspended, but it is narrowed at the bottom in the form of a sleeve or cone, allowing you to practice almost all types of punches and kicks, choosing the place of application of the blow. You can train on the upper cylindrical surface as on a regular bag. The middle conical surface allows you to practice uppercuts, side kicks, and hooks with your hands. The lower cylindrical surface has a small diameter and will replace the middle punch. It is very convenient to practice direct blows to the head, side kicks to the head with both hands and feet. Side kicks to the head, trained on a cylindrical surface with a small diameter, will be more effective in a real fight. To fully use the properties of this horting bag, it is necessary that the fastening system allows you to adjust the height of the bag's suspension. The striking surfaces (upper cylindrical, middle conical, lower cylindrical) must be set at a level that corresponds to the area of ​​practicing blows to the head, torso, hips, but in the vast majority - the head and torso.
Hydropneumatic long bag option.

4. Horizontal (inclined) bulk hanging bag

On a horizontal water bag, it is possible to quickly adjust the stiffness and weight, by adjusting the stiffness, you can choose training modes, that is, simulate blows to the chest and abdomen, which, as is known, differ in the degree of stiffness, and the elasticity of the water filler in combination with an air shock absorber dampens shock waves, significantly reducing the harmful effects on the joints, spine, blood vessels and brain. For this type of projectile, a reliable and convenient suspension system is very important: a split ring, chains, a carabiner with a spring lock. The horizontal bag itself hangs on straps. But if it is necessary to tilt it, then there is a need to secure the bag from the upper edge, and it is better to hang the upper edge from the ceiling. If the upper edge of the tilted bag is suspended from the ceiling, then the lower strap can be used to adjust the angle of inclination of the projectile. Most often, horting clubs use a bag tilt, where the upper part is closer to the working athlete, and the lower part is further away, which allows you to hit from below and sideways and learn to quickly gain the necessary distance. In practice, a vertical hanging long bag is often used to tilt the bag, which is slightly pulled back and raised by a strap, which is additionally attached to the wall of the gym with a stretcher. The stretcher itself can be rigid (not stretchable) and rubber (made of expander rubber), which when hitting an inclined bag gives additional movement of the projectile in the reach area.

5. Light weight, bulk, filled, inflatable, suspended, mobile, from 15 to 40 kg, various sizes


6. Pneumatic suspension pear

Pneumatic pear. A pneumatic pear consists of a leather tire and a rubber chamber inside, inflated with air to the required elasticity. Pears can be of two or three sizes. The smaller the pear, the more it moves. Using a hinge, the pear is suspended from a horizontal platform with a diameter of 20 cm and a thickness of 5-6 cm made of hardwood. The platform is attached to the wall or ceiling on a special frame or brackets at a height convenient for horting athletes. It is recommended to install 3-4 platforms in the hall. The optimal design of these shells will allow you to achieve excellent rebound of the pear, which helps maintain the required rhythm of blows. There should be a screw adjustment on top of the pear for quick change of the height of the projectile. Such a pear is an indispensable attribute when practicing horting to improve the striking technique of the hands, it allows the athlete to develop dexterity and speed of blows.
 

7. Pear on stretch marks


8. Stationary pear on a platform


9. Heavy pneumatic pear on the platform


10. Light pneumatic spring-loaded pear

The lightweight pneumatic spring-loaded hammer consists of a cast-iron platform fixed to the floor, to which a steel spring with a diameter of 4-5-6 cm is attached at a height of 165-175 cm. The hammer is attached to the top of the spring, with the wide part facing up. The hammer tilts to the side when struck and returns to its original position. On this projectile, hortingists improve direct and lateral punches, high-speed kicks for accuracy of hit. Such a hammer can be widely used in training in children's horting groups, because the stiffness of the meeting of the striking part of the limb with the target is significantly reduced due to the spring's cushioning, which reduces the likelihood of wrist or ankle injury at the initial stage of training.

11. Pneumatic humanoid mannequin on a platform (base)


12. Uppercut roller

Allows you to apply uppercuts when using any hanging bags and punching bags or bags on the platform. The roller is made of foam material and a non-slip wear-resistant coating. The base of the roller is filled with sand or rubber crumb. The inner diameter of the roundness of the roller can be from 10 to 20 cm. The convenience of such a roller is that it can be placed at any height by moving it up and down on the bag or punching bag. In addition, due to its relatively small size, the roller can be a personal tool of the athlete.

13. Wall pillow (straight and rounded)


14. Wall trampoline


15. Wall mirror (1x2 m)

A standard wall mirror for sports use is 1x2 meters in size. A mirror or several mirrors of the same size are placed on a wall free of projectiles at the height of a person so that when viewed, the entire body from head to toe can be seen. It is desirable to have a free area in front of the mirror so that not one but several athletes can practice and observe the execution of their personal technique for performing the horting element. In a correctly positioned mirror, the entire body, head position and gaze, leg position when performing the stance and movements, all initial and final positions for punches and kicks will be visible. If the area in front of the mirror is covered with a soft surface, then athletes can practice throws with falls to the floor and observe the execution of their technique.

 
Inventory

One of the most important elements on which the level of training of a horting athlete depends is the quality of his training equipment.

1. Portable cushion (straight and round) for practicing punches

2. Portable shield for practicing strikes

A portable shield for practicing striking attacks is designed for delivering punches and kicks to a moving target. The shield measures approximately 1.3 m x 1 m and is 10-18 cm thick. The size and thickness of the shield are selected individually according to the height of the students. The shield can be straight or rounded. On a straight shield, mainly direct punches and punches from below, or side punches with lateral movement are practiced. On a rounded shield, it is very convenient to work not only on punching, but also on sparring endurance, performing punches and kicks with great intensity for a time. Shields are made of tarpaulin or banner fabric, filled with layers of foam rubber, between which the outer and inner layers of polyurethane foam are laid, and felt is placed on top of it. The shield is held on the person by wide straps that the athlete throws over his neck and over his head. A horizontal attachment can be fitted behind with another wide strap. It is mandatory that the back of the shield has a support device for supporting the shield with your hands, and the support devices can also be on the side. On a portable shield, blows to the middle and lower levels are practiced. For variety, the partner holding the shield can move directly towards you, move away, or move to the side.

3. Body protector (vest) for practicing strikes


4. Mitten paws


5. Percussion racket paws

The kick-racket is equipment for practicing the accuracy of kicks to the upper level, made of genuine leather, has a round-shaped kick target approximately 15-20 cm in diameter with a soft leather handle. The racket can be single or double. A ring band is attached to the end of the handle to secure the racket to the wrist. The racket's internal structure is 3-4 polypropylene sheets cut in the shape of a racket with a handle. The equipment is laced up from above with a dense ribbon, the ends of which are tucked into the racket. The rackets are very convenient and safe to use, the coach can simultaneously pair athletes, give each pair a racket and, giving commands to practice kicks, watch how the students perform them. As a result of repeated repetitions, each athlete can choose the necessary distance for kicking to the upper level. The racket is effective for practicing lateral, turn and jump kicks. The doubles racket is also designed for practicing kicks. The racket is made of high-quality genuine leather, the inner filler is polyurethane foam. The reinforced handle is anatomically shaped with an elastic safety loop. The racket is an effective means of practicing hitting techniques.

6. Protective helmet with closed chin

A boxing helmet is the main means of protection for a horting athlete aged 5 to 17, female athletes of all age groups, as well as veterans aged 35-40, 40-45. According to the rules of amateur sports, a horting protective helmet is a necessary part of an athlete's equipment during competitions. A protective helmet with a closed chin serves to reliably protect the head during horting training and competitions. Horting uses closed helmets (closed chin), as well as training helmets with a mask (for preparation for competitions). A horting competition helmet is made only with a closed chin, since when grabbing the neck, where wrestling techniques are allowed, the helmet should not be held loosely on the chin, a weak fastening strap will tear. The helmet is made of both genuine leather and other soft fabric materials. In horting, a helmet without a visor is used - with an open face, but the chin is closed both in front and below. The helmet serves to soften blows to the head and protect the eyebrows, cheekbones and ears from damage. It covers the ears, part of the face, chin and back of the head. A high-quality helmet is sewn from genuine leather with enhanced protection in the area of ​​​​the ears and chin. It should have a double fastening system. The helmet is made of high-quality genuine leather, the inside is finished with suede. The foam filler of the helmet contributes to optimal shock absorption. The size is adjusted around the circumference of the parietal part, on the back of the head and with rear "velcro", which are sewn on leather double straps, and therefore the helmet is an ideal option for athletes who care about their safety. The purpose of the helmet is to allow the athlete to protect himself from possible injuries and damage during competitions and training. A reliable training helmet provides maximum protection for the hortingist's head from impacts of any force. The helmet can be adjusted using lacing on top and Velcro on the back. A hortingist's competition helmet is open-faced, but a training helmet may have additional face protection - "cheeks". The use of children's sizes of helmets begins at 5 years of school age. In horting, helmets are made in two colors: dark blue and dark yellow. Well-made helmet models protect the chin, back of the head, ears and head from above, but at the same time provide maximum viewing angle. A helmet with a mask is used for training and protects the face from impacts.

7. Rubber balls (pinchball)

A ball on rubber bands (pinchball) is used to improve the striking technique of the hands and feet. Leather loops are made on the top and bottom of the ball, to which stretchers are attached. Usually the upper stretch is rubber, and the lower one is leather or nylon (both can be made of rubber band, but it is desirable that the upper one stretches and the lower one has a constant size). After the blow, the ball moves in a horizontal direction. Horting athletes use it to improve direct and side blows with their hands and feet. To improve blows from below and direct blows, such a ball is attached to shorter horizontal stretchers.

8. Suspended tennis ball on a rope (puntball)


9. Boxing gloves, 8-16 ounces


10. Shingarty (open-fingered gloves)


11. Projectile gloves

12. Helmet masks

Helmet masks are attached to the front of the helmet in front of the face and are used during training in hand striking techniques to prevent injuries to the athletes' facial organs. The mask is selected in such a way that it fully protects the face from impacts and is securely and securely attached to the helmet. If a special plastic mask sold in a sports store may be sufficient for children's training, then for classes with adults it is necessary to use a mask made of steel rods covered with a layer of resistant paint with filler. It must be remembered that the mask can only be used when working in a rack when improving the striking technique of hands dressed in large gloves. The use of a mask in the training process of horting when performing wrestling elements is prohibited, to prevent cracks in plastic masks, getting fingers or toes between the partitions of the mask, as well as other unwanted injuries to athletes.

13. Small dumbbells, 500 g - 2 kg

Small sports dumbbells are used in the training process of horting to train sparring endurance. Depending on the age of the athlete and his weight, as well as physical fitness, the coach gives out dumbbells: 500 g, 1 kg, 2 kg, or more for training in basic hand techniques for the purpose of additional weighting. The exercise "shadow fight" is very often used in training, during one or several rounds, athletes with medium or high intensity deliver basic blows to the air. Exercises with dumbbells can be performed both on the spot and while moving. Experienced coaches have dumbbells carved independently, made of heavy metals (for example, iron or lead) of different weights. For high-class athletes, dumbbells of 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 kg can be used, depending on the volume of aerobic load and the specifics of the exercise.

14. Weights for arms, legs, torso (weight cuffs and belts)

Weights for arms, legs, and torso are made in the form of cuffs and belts. Weights for arms are attached with straps and fasteners to the wrists, and for legs - to the ankle joint. They are made of a thick fabric base with lead rods in the middle. They can be of varying difficulty for both boys and adults. Exercises with weights are often used to train in the technique of striking and performing blocks, as well as general developing and strengthening exercises. With a weight belt or cuffs on the legs, you can do training runs, hold a gymnastic angle on the Swedish wall, perform swing exercises, and exercises to strengthen the muscles of the torso.

15. Electric stopwatch

An electric stopwatch is a necessary device for every trainer. During the training, the trainer monitors the time of endurance exercises, cross-country training, shadow fighting, training duels against time, etc. The stopwatch can be used to record the time of speed exercises: 30 m, 60 m, 100 m, 200 m sprints, track and field relays, performing throws and hitting the bag against time, etc. Exercises for the development of speed and strength qualities that can be performed using a stopwatch: climbing a rope, walking on hands, moving along a handwalk, performing somersaults in a wrestling bridge, lifting a barbell and kettlebell for a certain number of times, various exercises with a partner with resistance.

III. Shared equipment for general developmental exercises

1. Gymnastic walls and stairs (ladders)

Gymnastic walls have a certain size and are placed in convenient places in the gym. The gymnastic wall (4-6 spans) is attached to the wall in a vertical position. You can hang a gymnastic ladder on the hooks, giving it a different angle of inclination, as well as mounted crossbars and bars. On these equipment, you can perform exercises in flexion-extension of the arms, in stops, hanging and others, mainly for developing the strength of individual muscle groups and flexibility of the joints. You can hold on to the crossbars of the wall ladder with your hands, performing exercises, swings with your legs, etc.

2. Gymnastic bench

There can be 4-8 gymnastic benches in a gym, and they are used for seating participants in the training process during methodological instructions, educational conversations with athletes, and briefings on safety rules during classes, as well as for direct performance of training exercises. They perform exercises on it in stops, sitting and lying, in balance. The bench is used for jumps, coordination runs, etc. To ensure a variety of classes, coaches can place benches next to each other in a row, across, cross benches, place them in parallel at different intervals, etc. It is necessary to ensure that each bench has a certain stability and does not wobble when standing on the floor of the gym.

3. Hanging rope for climbing

4. Gymnastic rings

Gymnastic rings are used mainly for strength exercises for the muscles of the arms and torso, for performing crosses with the arms and for stretching. You can also perform leg lifts to the rings and torso in an inverted vertical position on the rings. You can also perform hangings on two arms and on one arm for a while. If there are no rings in the gym, then similar exercises can be performed on the crossbar.

5. Gymnastics and hanging crossbar

The gymnastic crossbar is attached to the floor of the gym with a stop and on the stretchers, its height can be adjusted with locking bolts. Various gymnastic exercises, athletic and power elements that develop arm strength and grip strength, rotations, twists, power outings on the hands, etc. can be performed on the crossbar. The hanging crossbar is attached to the gymnastic ladder with hooks. Depending on which step of the ladder the hooks of the hanging crossbar are hooked on, its height to the floor is adjustable, which is convenient for training with children. On the hanging crossbars, children can safely jump and hang for a while, pull themselves up a certain number of times, raise their feet to the crossbar a certain number of times, hold an angle with their legs, training the abdominal muscles.

6. Parallel bars, gymnastic and hanging

Stationary parallel bars are placed in the gym at a distance from the walls, to avoid collisions, they should be covered with gymnastic mats from below. Parallel bars can be at the same height or of different heights, the height of the bars is regulated by locking bolts and a mechanism. On the bars, you can perform basic gymnastic exercises, acrobatic and power elements that contribute to the development of arm strength and body coordination in space, shoulder stands, handstands, jumps and turns. Suspended parallel bars are attached with hooks to a gymnastic ladder, used for training children and adolescents at low heights. The most common exercises on the hanging bars are arm curls in full and half-hold with a direct and reverse grip, arm pull-ups, hand and one-arm hangs, alternate hand grabs, performing a leg angle in the hold to strengthen the abs, and others.

7. Athletic machines or wall blocks with weight, weight lifts

Athletic machines or wall blocks with cargo, cargo lifts are accessories for improving the physical qualities of athletes. The machines are selected depending on the size of the hall and the need and direction of the loads. Machines for performing exercises are multifunctional and for individual types of muscles. In the practice of horting, it is more convenient to use multifunctional stationary machines, as they occupy one place and are used for many different physical exercises. The machines are selected for the load of different groups of muscles of the arms (flexors, extensors), legs and trunk, they can be block, that is, on cables, and with direct weighting on the frames of the machines. Variants of machines can also be based on the principle of a lift. The cargo lift is placed on the walls. Racks with blocks through which the cables pass are attached to the wall. A load is attached to one end of the cable (discs from a barbell of different weights), and handles are attached to the other, which the athlete takes and pulls the load up through the blocks. Exercises for the development of strength endurance on the machines are planned by the coach and performed by the athlete from one projectile to another. The "Hercules" machine is used comprehensively. This is a combined structure, with the help of which you can develop most physical qualities: strength, power endurance, flexibility, coordination. All the machines are adjustable according to the load, and the trainer has the opportunity to adjust the load of both beginners (small weight loads and intensity of approaches) and experienced horting athletes - to increase the load to the maximum capacity. Soft coverings, mats and other tools can be used to soften the benches when performing exercises. Crowding of athletes around the machine while performing exercises is prohibited by the safety rules for horting classes.

8. Straight collapsible weightlifting barbell (-30 +260 kg)

The straight collapsible weightlifting bar is used mainly by adult athletes to load large weights. The sports weightlifting bar can be installed on racks for squats and bench presses. To perform jerks and pushes when lowering the bar, shock-absorbing blocks must be fitted in the places where the bar touches the floor, which allow you to absorb the impact load of the bar. In the absence of such devices, it is prohibited to freely throw the bar after lifting. The bar can be lifted with your feet, leaning your hands on the gymnastic wall, walking with it on your shoulders, performing torso rotations with the bar on your shoulders. At the same time, the coach must ensure that the fixing brackets on the sides of the bar are in good condition and securely fix the bars on the bar. The barbell should have a set of pancakes up to 260 kg, since in heavy weight categories athletes must perform heavy loads on their legs and arms, train wrist grips, etc., which no other equipment, even a machine, in the gym can provide. Pancakes from the barbell that are not used should be stacked on special racks and after performing the exercises, they should be stacked in this order, without interfering with the work of other athletes.

9. Special collapsible barbell with a bent neck

A collapsible barbell with a bent barbell is used in every workout, can be in the gym in the amount of 2-4 pieces, is a convenient tool for training the arm muscles: biceps, triceps, latissimus dorsi. The curvature of the barbell in the places of grip with the hands ensures the convenience of placing the hand on the barbell and allows for a variety of efforts. A collapsible barbell with a bent barbell should have an adjustable weight from 20 to 50 kg.

10. Shortened non-collapsible barbell (15 kg, 25 kg, 35 kg)

The shortened non-collapsible barbell is a one-piece accessory that allows you to confidently perform rotational exercises at high speeds, both holding the barbell in your hands and on your shoulders. Different weight loads should be selected for different age groups of athletes. The shortened non-collapsible barbell can weigh 15 kg, 25 kg, 35 kg, and others, depending on the weight of the metal balls welded to the one-piece metal barbell.

11. Kettlebells: 16 kg, 24 kg, 32 kg

Standard kettlebells are made of one pound (16 kg), one and a half pounds (24 kg), two pounds (32 kg). Kettlebells of other weights can be privately manufactured. Kettlebells are used in the training of middle-aged and older athletes and adults. Exercises with kettlebells develop strength and speed-strength qualities of the arms and back, as well as the shoulder girdle and pectoral muscles. With kettlebells, you can perform one- and two-handed push-ups, various lifts, juggling, etc. In an inclined position, rotations of kettlebells in the hands develop grip strength. When pulling up in an inclined position, the muscles of the arms and back work. In the open air, kettlebells are widely used in somersaults and juggling by both one and two athletes one against another. Among men over 18 years of age, it is convenient to hold qualifying competitions in pushing a kettlebell (16, 24, 32 kg) with one hand or two kettlebells with two hands while standing from the shoulders. For adult heavyweight athletes, the horting club may have homemade weights heavier than 32 kg - 40, or even: 50-60 kg.

12. Weight belt with hook or carabiner

The weight belt is made of thick leather on a wide base, attached to the belt. A strap with a hook or carabiner for attaching the weight comes out of the belt. The weight can be in the form of a pancake from a barbell (5, 10, 15, 20 kg), a kettlebell, or other equipment of a certain weight. Using the belt, you can increase the load when pulling up on the crossbar, doing push-ups on parallel bars, performing hangs for a time, and other exercises, the performance of which does not interfere with the calm position of this belt with the load placed on the hook or carabiner.

13. Jump ropes

Jump ropes are designed exclusively for jumping exercises. Simple gymnastic ropes, selected in length for the athlete, are suitable for classes. Jumping exercises on a rope are performed both over the rope and near it, maintaining a rotational rhythm. Jumps can be performed forward and backward over the rope, adjusting the speed of rotation of the rope with your hands. A slow rhythm is used for warming up, high-speed jumps are a specially developing exercise for a horting athlete. Jumping on a rope develops coordination, agility and speed. The coach can give jumping tasks with a rope to one athlete, several, and even the whole group at the same time. Jumping exercises are used from early childhood to veteran age. The health-improving effect of jumping on a rope has a good effect on the formation of breathing in both children and adults.

14. Collapsible dumbbells

Collapsible dumbbells consist of a handle, pancakes and locking rings (clamps), can be children's - from 3 to 8 kg, and adult - from 4 to 30 kg, with pancakes of different thickness and diameter. Dumbbells are regulated by a set of pancakes and are included in the training process according to the tasks of loading different muscle groups. Dumbbells develop the muscles of the arms, upper shoulder girdle, back and chest. To achieve the training goal of loading, the trainer can provide tasks with heavy dumbbells, and for additional loading - with small and light ones. Warm-up is done with light dumbbells, and the weight is gradually increased to the main part of the training. Dumbbells when lifted up develop deltoid muscles, when using swings and acyclic exercises - any muscles, according to the tasks. With dumbbells, short runs are performed to accelerate, static exercises to hold dumbbells in the hands at the same height, pumping the biceps - bending the arms, triceps - extending them from behind the head upwards, running exercises for rhythm and time, etc.

15. Gymnastic sticks, light, weighted or wooden

Sticks can be plastic, light gymnastic sticks for training with young children, wooden poles for combat training classes 150 cm long, and weighted sticks made of a thick metal rod for training and gaining weight. With all types of sticks, you can do the same exercises, swinging the stick, jumping over the stick while holding it in your hands, striking movements forward, backward, above, below and to the side, pushing movements, performing rotations of the stick while holding it in your hands, etc. The coach can give exercises with sticks both individually to one athlete and collectively - to the whole group at the same time.

16. Have gymnastic mats

Gymnastic mats should be of the appropriate thickness to absorb shocks when an athlete falls to the floor. They are used to perform gymnastic and acrobatic exercises, forward, backward, sideways, flips, somersaults, and other highly coordinated exercises. Gymnastic mats are also used to ensure safety when performing exercises on other devices and machines. Mats are used to make flooring for gymnastic rings, parallel bars, climbing ropes, and others. On mats, you can simply perform exercises to strengthen the press, rotations and neck pumping, elbow and handstands, wrestling bridges, runs, somersaults, and practice opponent's throws. If necessary, you can use a flooring made of two layers of mats. Highly coordinated jumps must be performed on an additional flooring of mats and with additional insurance from the coach and senior athletes.

17. Tug of war

The tug-of-war rope is used both for two people and for collective tug-of-war by two teams. Such exercises develop hand grip strength, agility, stamina, coordination, as well as a sense of collectivism, responsibility for one's team and the amount of personal contribution that an athlete makes to the overall victory. Such a rope can be used both in an indoor stationary horting gym and outdoors. In nature and at collective sports holidays, tug-of-war competitions can become the center and entertainment for children's sports.

18. "Soft anvil" - a car tire with a hammer

"Soft anvil" - a car tire with a hammer develops the necessary coordination and impact qualities, allows the athlete to develop maximum strength when performing exercises and invest it in the blow. This is a car tire of a large truck, on which the athlete can hit from above, from the top right, from the top left with a light hammer (4-5 kg) with one hand and a heavy one (6-8 kg) with two hands. With the help of these exercises, the strength endurance of the muscles of the upper limbs, back and abdomen, the stability of the fighting stance are developed. For older athletes of large weight categories, the hammer can be made of a thick steel rod weighing 15-20 kg and 1.2 -1.5 m long. To perform the exercise with the hammer, it is necessary to have construction gloves for a while, so as not to tear calluses on the palms during the exercise. Impact approaches on the anvil can be performed both for time and for quantity. If the anvil (tire) has a large diagonal size and weight, then two men from opposite sides can work on it simultaneously.

19. Rubber expander, 4 m

The elastic band is manufactured in standard diameter, density and size and is sold in sports stores. It is desirable to have an elastic band 4 meters long for tying it in the middle to the step of the gymnastic ladder. In this case, a 2-meter-long end of the elastic band is taken in each hand - this is the distance from the place where the elastic band is attached. Exercises with the elastic band are performed both at light tension and at maximum tension. The recommended exercises can include turns for throws: on the front footboard, throw over the back, etc., impact exercises with the elastic band. The elastic band can be attached to both arms and legs, performing impact movements. In addition to special exercises, you can also perform general developmental exercises with the elastic band, pulling behind the back with two hands, or one hand at a time, pulling both ends of the elastic band with two hands at the same time, squatting with a taut elastic band, etc. Exercises with elastic bands help develop special coordination and practice the necessary efforts to perform throws and kicks. The stretching properties of the rubber band allow the athlete to feel the resistance when performing the action, that is, the more the rubber band is stretched, the stronger the resistance to the counteraction.

20. Heavy stuffed medical ball (1.5-4 kg)

Heavy stuffed balls can be of different weights and are used for athletes of different age groups: lighter ones for children, heavier ones for juniors and adults. The stuffed ball is adjusted according to the athlete's strength and is used both for performing individual exercises, tosses, rotations, holding in hands, pushes, and for pair exercises: throwing each other from below, from above over the head, from the side (left, right), from behind over the top, between the legs, pushing from the chest, etc. In order for the balls not to break on the floor, it is advisable to give exercises to athletes standing on a greyhound or gymnastic mats, and also try to catch the projectiles in the air without allowing them to fall too much to the floor. Stuffed balls can be both round and oval in shape.

21. Basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis ball

Game balls in the horting gym have a general developmental function, and can also be used to perform special exercises. In addition to basketball, football, volleyball games, where horting athletes receive loads and game skills, balls are used to train speed reaction, agility, speed, etc. Among children, a basketball can carry a medium load when throwing to each other from different positions. A soccer ball provides additional leg coordination skills when juggling and practicing strikes. A volleyball can be used for speed throwing at an athlete to train reaction to a blow, since the ball itself is light and in case of a collision will not be able to cause any bodily harm. A tennis ball is used for throwing and catching it for reaction and speed, as well as accuracy of hand grip. The good suitability of game balls is that working with them does not require additional introductions, and they can be practiced almost anywhere, both in a hall with a hard floor and in a soft one, on the street, on asphalt in sports shoes, in water (basketball), in a forest on a lawn, on the sand barefoot, etc. A good game method of practicing with the ball is provided in training with children of preschool and primary school age. Special games in rugby, football and basketball with elements of horting and the use of pushing, grabbing, dumping and holding have their own place in training among juniors and adults.

22. Scales (-25-30 kg +130-140 kg)

Sports scales are portable (floor-standing) and stationary. Scales in the gym can be mechanical, but for more accurate weighing, especially before a competition, they should be electronic. Scales should be selected specifically for sports activities and should have a wide range of weight measurements: from children's weight - 25-30 kg to adult weight of the heaviest weight category - 130-140 kg. Experienced athletes during the period of preparation for the competition constantly monitor the entire working weight, adjusting it to the date of weighing. Athletes who conduct a health training regimen should also be able to monitor weight changes before and after loads.

23. Sports expanders (spring, rubber, wrist)

Sports expanders, depending on the direction of effort, are for stretching, bending, twisting, and are made of various materials that provide resistance to force action, springs, rubber, mechanisms and other devices. The nadir of the expanders is placed in the gym in a place designated for them and is used to perform general developmental exercises with resistance. Sports expanders are means of individual training, work with them is assigned individually to the athlete to achieve a specific training task. Expanders can also be at home with athletes for self-training.

24. Stretching machine

The stretching machine is used individually. This machine is an essential tool for achieving stretching by horting athletes due to the fact that the stretching action is carried out during complete relaxation of the leg muscles and hip joint. The athlete sits on the platform, rests two supports on the knee joint and the inner part of the thigh, and uses a special lever in front of him to adjust the level of extension of the platforms on which the relaxed legs lie. The stretching machine is an ideal tool for those who want to achieve results in the shortest possible time. This is facilitated by the combination of a super-strong steel frame and high manufacturability of the product. Classes on the machine allow you to very quickly overcome the path from a beginner to the stretching of an average horting athlete. Soft pillows provide comfort during training. The machine allows you to reach a stretching level of 190°. After receiving a certain tensile load, it is necessary to get up from the machine and relax your legs, squat down and apply blows to the air and light blows to the bag to normalize the processes in the hip joint.

25. Neck strengthening gate

A neck strengthening gate is made independently from a leather collar 5-7 cm wide, slightly larger than the head, to which a belt, nylon cord or chain is attached, on which a rubber band for support or a load (weight or discs from a barbell) is attached. The athlete puts on the gate on his head (forehead area), lifts the load up and then slowly lowers it down. The gate is also put on with a focus on the forehead, an expander rubber band is attached behind, and the athlete walks forward against the resistance of the rubber band, the same exercise is performed sideways (left-right). An athlete lying on a bench, who has put his head beyond the boundaries of the bench, is put on a gate on his forehead, a pancake from a barbell weighing 5-10-15 kg is hung on the belt, the time of performing a static exercise to keep the head in a straight position is noted. There are many other neck strengthening exercises that use weights on the neck. Neck exercises develop the front, back, and side muscles of the neck, and teach the athlete to tolerate direct and lateral loads on the neck and head.

26. Gymnastic hoops

Gymnastic hoops are used to perform general developmental exercises for plasticity, flexibility, coordination when performing hoop rotations around the body, arms, legs, neck. For classes with younger children, hoops are also used in game training when performing hoop rolling on the floor, jumping through the hoop, hitting the ball into the hoop, performing simple rotations around the body, etc. Hoops are well used in classes with female athletes of any age, both girls and veterans and the elderly.

27. Gymnastic carpets, polyurethane tourist carpets

Carpets of any type are used in the training process as a means of bedding. Tracks can be laid under machines and equipment, tourist carpets are used individually by an athlete for bedding when performing exercises on the floor. Polyurethane carpets are lightweight, quickly unrolled or unfolded, made to the size of the human body, have a good shock absorption effect and moisture resistance, which justifies their convenience and frequent use in general developmental training classes. On such carpets you can pump the press in different positions: raise the torso to a sitting position and lower it, raise your legs up, lying on your back, etc.

28. Gymnastics "Goat" with a shock-absorbing platform

The gymnastic "Goat" with a shock-absorbing platform is used for jumping over it and thereby improving coordination skills, agility, and agility. Jumping over it also develops speed and courage. To perform the exercise, children must first thoroughly warm up their limbs, set it to the lowest possible position, cover the "Goat" with mats, and provide safety equipment near it.

29. Shock-absorbing mats for walls and columns

Shock-absorbing mats for walls and columns in a sports hall are placed to protect athletes from impacts against walls and columns. They are made of secondary foam rubber with a thickness of 2 to 5 cm, covered with PVC fabric. They are attached to walls and columns with special glue or screwed on bolts with soft hats. If the hall is specialized for horting, then it is possible to equip it from all sides with such mats, but in a hall for general sports use, for example, in an educational institution, such mats can be portable and installed for the duration of horting training, but all dangerous corners of the room must be protected from collision.
