跑與舉（負(fù)）重
跑與舉（負(fù)）重活動(dòng)形式的產(chǎn)生，源于原始人類的生活實(shí)踐，是人類必須具備的基本技能。由于軍事和戰(zhàn)爭的需要，在歷史的發(fā)展中，跑與舉（負(fù)）重這兩項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)技能不斷得到提高。各個(gè)時(shí)期出現(xiàn)了不同形式的長距離跑和不同特點(diǎn)的舉（負(fù)）重，進(jìn)一步豐富了中國體育的內(nèi)容。
Race and physical training
At the very beginning of human history, running and weightlifting were basic skills required of all those engaged in productive labour or military training. And they must improve these physical abilities constantly, if they wanted to work better and, in times of war, to win a battle, in which one must be able to run fast over long distances - often with something heavy in hand or on back. Thus running and weightlifting became all-important physical exercises and sporting events- at all times for people of all walks of life.
