STRONGMAN HISTORY There is no better way to begin a complete guide to strongman than with the history and origin of the sport itself. On some level strongman has existed as long as man has existed. Humans have always had to lift rocks and logs, or carry loads of wheat or wood on their back etc. Further down the line in history we had to move ships by rowing with oars on a boat, or pull heavy loads with ropes. Human strength in its rawest most functional form has always been important for our survival. Ancient stories of strongman like Samson in the bible and the Greek myth of Hercules has captivated us for centuries.

The kettlebell sport is a weight lifting discipline in which the goal is to carry out as many repetitions as possible in the exercises of clean and jerk, biathlon (jerk and snatch) in the 10 minutes provided by the regulation. Four athletes of the agonist Umbria Kettlebell Training Center Team (3 men and 1 woman) were analyzed, respectively in the male biathlon (jerk 70+70 lbs and snatch 70 lbs), male biathlon under 18 (jerk 53+53 lbs and snatch 53 lbs), male clean and jerk (62+62 lbs) and female snatch (53 and 35 lbs). The investigation area is made up of three parts: anthropometric analysis, physiological analysis, electromyography analysis. The main results of the tests are the following: it is a form of weight lifting on aerobic regime (Vo2 max 40,4 ± 5,9 ml/kg/min, Average Heart Rate 162 ± 14 bpm, Max Ventilation 111,6 ± 29,6 l/min, End of test Ematic Lactate 3,3 ± 0,29 mmol/l) at which, in order to excelle and being able to perform, effective and efficient, an optimal technique is needed to make the best use of the available energy and organic reserves avoiding any over-use injuries due to the loads lifted.

Abstract Folk sports are the countertype of modern sports: invented traditions, bolstered by tangible ritual and intangible myth, played by the common folk in order to express a romantic ethnic identity. Like other cultural forms, traditional sports and games around the world are becoming marginalized in the face of modernization and globalization. In 2003, UNESCO ratified the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in an attempt to counter such trends of cultural homogenization. As elements of intangible cultural heritage, folk sports now fall under the auspices of UNESCO safeguarding policies.
