The tradition of passing the TRP standards came to us from the USSR. It developed successfully from 1931 to 1991. For some time it was forgotten, but in 2014, by decree of President V.V. Putin's program was once again introduced into the life of Russian society.
The abbreviation of the TRP stands for “Ready for Labor and Defense”. There are 11 steps in the complex. The division was made according to gender and age. Participants are encouraged to pass standards in such tests as jumping, push-ups, pull-ups, running at various distances, throwing a projectile, shooting, swimming, skiing and hiking.
The population of our country, definitely, is not distinguished by good health and good physical endurance and strength. And in many cases it is the sedentary lifestyle and the dislike of our fellow citizens for physical activity that is to blame. The government decided to take the lead in correcting this situation and promoting the sport to the masses. The fact that now we have such a public event as the passing of the norms of the "Ready for Labor and Defense" complex, which unites not professional athletes, but amateurs, should help popularize sports. In addition, the award for participation will be not only badges and the award of a particular place, but also benefits.
