Fitness industry in 20-21 century

Changes in the fitness industry invariably follow the growth of technology. Each new decade of the twentieth century brings new and new discoveries, companies and models. Exceptions are only periods of world wars. The presence of fitness and sport in general in people’s lives increases proportionally to the increasing automation of labor.

The shorter working day is one person, the more time you have it.

So thanks to rising living standards and reducing the working week sports no longer a luxury for the rich and activities for everyone.

Of course, this applies to First and then developed to developing countries. Those patents and the events industry evolved to the current level are thousands.

I was able to pick those who are seen as key to the progress of the fitness culture. This time I’ll let you look at the events without separate periods, as this is part of recent history.

What happened to the fitness industry in the twentieth century?

Above all, sport is iron fragment and profile according to the purpose of exercise.

In the early centuries of endurance go hand in hand with pozingite and at the end of the century, particularly after the “golden generation” of bodybuilders from the 60s and 70s, the pharmaceutical industry in bodybuilding freaks machine mutants (literally ).

Not surprisingly in this table not available when any supplement or medication which has been patented and used in sport. That would kill the magic, but this is not my goal.

The fact is that without pharmaceutical industry many of the big boys would be far from the level of the “golden generation”.

That is not important. It is important that sport is divided into sections:

•     Visually oriented: bodybuilding (professionals, amateurs, natural, etc.) and fitness;
•     Efficient and power oriented: power racing heterogeneous nature, Olympic Athletics severe: disposal, crowding, and triboy competitive activities in basic movements (squat, bench press, thrust, etc.)
•     Conditioning and / or visually oriented gym – amateur sport for the masses.

Sport for the masses is what makes the iron industry in what it is now – a culture of consumption with an economic stake for billions.

The good thing is that thanks to the majority of customers of the industry focuses its progress back to its original purpose since its creation, namely: a beautiful and healthy body.

This is the message of Charles Atlas and the mighty men who lived before him. It is good that we travel that way again.
What happens to the industry and will happen in the XXI century?

Died in bodybuilding classic look still in the 80s. In its present form is unlikely to outlast the empire Uidar.

It remains to be reborn in its classical form or remain strange and um … sunset sport for loners.

I sincerely hope to see a new generation of players, beyond the “Olympia”.

Strength sports are also close to the pharmacy. And here was the performance ceiling set in the 80s.

Remember, I hope the legendary athletes of Abadjiev. Olympics will preserve these sports doping and may dispose of the preparation of athletes.

However, great achievements will be a rarity – a true rarity. This interest should be who will win and which side, but there will be a record. May be so.

Fitness industry is not just a sports industry, and part of a larger one – the wellness industry.

In this sport is part of the range of activities organized in protecting, developing, maintaining and extending the beauty, health and abilities of the human body.

Industry in the cult of life in the active sense. This is the future.
In conclusion

Perhaps I missed some key contribution to the athletes, patents, events or places, changed the industry.
