What are the specific contents of the Second Sports Games of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army?

After the founding of New China, the military’s sports work has entered a new period of vigorous development with leadership, planning and organization. In 1950, the General Political Department held a military-wide publicity, education and cultural work conference and decided to "vigorously strengthen military sports activities." The first All-Army Games was held in Beijing in August 1952, and Mao Zedong and Zhu De came to review it. Zhu De emphasized in his opening speech: "In order to accelerate troop building and improve military technology, it is also necessary to develop military sports activities universally to exercise strong physical strength and serve combat and national defense construction." The General Political Department reported on the first All-Army Games The special report on the situation stated: "In order to enhance the physical fitness of officers and soldiers and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, our army should carry out mass sports more extensively in the future, and make training the physical fitness of officers and soldiers one of the important tasks of our army's training work. ." This report was approved by the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and became an important document guiding military sports work.

The People's Liberation Army has gradually established increasingly complete sports institutions and systems. In 1950, the General Political Department decided that cultural departments at all levels should be responsible for leading military sports activities. In 1955, the General Training Department established the Sports Bureau to manage the military's physical training and sports teams. Although some institutions later changed, the general pattern is that the military's sports work is organized and led by the Military Training Department of the General Staff Headquarters and the Cultural Department of the General Political Department. They are in charge of military sports training and mass sports activities of the troops. The headquarters and major military regions, services and arms have established sports teams. Companies and grassroots units have generally established physical training groups and sports teams. In order to further strengthen the unified leadership of the military's sports work and coordinate the relationship between relevant departments, a sports steering committee for the entire army and the troops at the regiment level and above has been established.

The People's Liberation Army's sports systems are also gradually being established. While implementing the systems of graded coaches, graded referees, graded athletes, "Physical Training Standards", competitions and awards issued by the Sports Commission of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, the military also implements The following systems:

1 hour of physical training system per day; "Standards of Physical Training for Military Personnel" system, that is, at the end of annual training,

implementation of standard assessments for troops and colleges in accordance with prescribed standards ; The competition system stipulates the scale and methods of sports competitions at regiment, division, corps, major military region and all levels of the army.

In order to cultivate sports cadres, the Physical Education Department was established at the Military Normal School of the People's Liberation Army in 1952. On this basis, the Chinese People's Liberation Army was established in 1953. The Military Sports School was renamed the Chinese People's Liberation Army Sports College in 1961. Before the "Cultural Revolution", it had more than 9,300 graduates. The college was abolished in 1969 and restored in 1973 with the approval of the Central Military Commission. From 1973 to 1985, the college trained and sent more than 6,000 sports elites to the army. From 1975 to 1978, the Institute of Physical Education also sent teaching teams to the army to assist in cultivating more than 11,000 athletes.
