What are the special sports?

There is no general fixed list of special sports. They are essentially designed around the competitive needs and action patterns of a specific sports event, and are all sports content that specifically serve to improve the ability of the event. It is a concept opposite to general basic physical training.

To put it bluntly, the core is just the word "specialized". It completely depends on the items you practice. There is no unified list that is universally applicable. Take for example the sports that we ordinary enthusiasts are often exposed to. If you train for marathon, interval running, pace running, hill training, as well as iliopsoas muscle strengthening and ankle stability training specially designed for long-distance running are all your special sports. If you put these contents on the weightlifting team, they will not practice them at all, so naturally they are not considered special weightlifting.

There are actually still some differences in the definition of this definition in the sports circle. Many senior athletes who have been competing for more than ten years believe that only the movement patterns and events that completely match can be considered serious special events. For example, all kinds of marathon running methods can be considered. The iliopsoas muscle strengthening just mentioned can only be considered semi-specialized or even auxiliary strength training.； However, many grassroots coaches who have been coaching players for 20 or 30 years feel that there is no need to be stuck like this. As long as the only purpose of practicing this content is to improve the performance of a certain event and will not be used in regular training for other events, it can be considered a special event. After all, different players have different shortcomings. If someone has a weak core, he or she must specialize in making up for the core, and if someone has weak ankles, they must specifically train their ankles. There is no need to set a unified standard.

If you have time to go to the training ground of the sports school, you will understand better. The members of the sprint group are practicing arm swings and rapid weight-bearing calf raises while holding resistance bands. The members of the long jump group are repeatedly practicing the connection between the approach and step jumps. The members of the throwing group are practicing core explosive rotations. These are all special sports for their respective events. The content is so different that they cannot be classified into the same general list. If you really want to know what special sports correspond to the events you practice, it is better to ask old enthusiasts or coaches who have practiced the corresponding events for three to five years. It is much more reliable than searching for the same general list on the Internet.
