New generation – new opportunities
Children and young people today are growing up in a digitally dominated world where smartphones, social media and video games take up a large part of their free time. While these technologies undoubtedly have their advantages, they have also contributed to the fact that active exercise has taken a back seat for many children and young people.
At the same time, this generation brings with it a new level of curiosity and ambition. They are looking for new challenges and opportunities to push their limits. It is therefore time to rethink and revolutionise the approach to school sport. By introducing functional fitness and versatile sports equipment, such as that offered by cross equip, schools can offer pupils exciting, challenging and varied sports events. This type of training not only gives children and young people a completely new perspective on physical fitness, but also helps them discover a real joy and passion for sport.
An example event from the Aarau commercial school
The Aarau Commercial School pulled out new stops as an organiser and took the Sports Day as an opportunity to include exercises from Functional Fitness. The sports day was an event with around 100 students between the ages of 16 and 20. Throughout the day, the young adults took on various challenges. They tackled the posts as a group of twelve. Eight of the twelve people had to compete. Some examples are:
AMRAP 12min
40 Burpees over the Rower into max. Meter Row.
3 Rounds for time (Time Cap 9min)
3 Wall Walks
5 Dumbbell Snatches (10/15kg)
7 Box Jumps
AMRAP 4min
Dumbbell Thruster (10/15kg)
In addition, there were courses and fun games to complete.
There were four different rankings. On the one hand, there was the ranking list with girls, boys as well as teams and teachers.
Functional fitness has gained enormous popularity in recent years, not only in the professional but also in the school sector. These exercises simulate everyday movements and train the body to be ready for the demands of daily life. This training approach not only promotes physical health, but also self-confidence and teamwork.
More and more schools are recognising the value of sports days and internal competitions that go beyond traditional physical education classes. These events not only promote physical fitness, but also a sense of community, motivation and a healthy competitive spirit. With our offer, we would also like to enable schools to realise these events without great logistical effort.
