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.

As elements of intangible cultural heritage, folk sports now fall under the auspices of UNESCO safeguarding policies.
