THE ROLE OF THE MASS DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUAL SPORTS IN AZERBAIJANI VILLAGES IN THE MODERN OLYMPIC MOVEMENT

Abstract

Mass sports are regular classes and competitions in existing sports for representatives of different age groups to strengthen health, correct physical development and body structure, improve general and specific work skills, acquire individual life skills and habits, have active rest, and achieve physical perfection.

Mass sports allow millions of people to improve their physical qualities and mobility, strengthen their health, and extend creative longevity, which in modern economic conditions means tolerance to undesirable effects on the human body and everyday living conditions.

The tasks of mass sports largely repeat the tasks of physical education, but regular physical exercises and training are carried out with a sports orientation.

From this perspective, the mass development of sports is currently one of the most pressing issues. Because the development of sports is no longer measured solely by the number of medals won by countries in this field. It also paves the way for the political, social, and economic integration of countries.

In Azerbaijan, after the years of independence, attention has been paid to the development of mass sports. This, of course, is clearly evident in the current state of sports.

However, we still have certain problems in the development of sports. Our potential in this area has been underutilized.

The article examines several ways to achieve mass participation in sports and maximize our potential. Specifically, it analyzes what needs to be done to focus on the development of rural sports.
