| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Olympic Games - Revival of the Olympic Games The Olympic Games did not die in 393. Already in the 17th century a sports festival, the "Olympick Games" was held in England. Over the next few centuries, similar events were organised in France and Greece, but these were all small-scale and certainly not international. The interest in reviving the Olympics grew when the ruins of ancient Olympia were uncovered by German archaeologists in the mid-19th century.
At the same time, Baron de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics, searched for a reason for the French defeat in the Franc ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Olympic Games - Olympic Movement A number of organizations are involved in organizing the Olympic Games. Together they form the Olympic Movement. The rules and guidelines by which these organizations operate are outlined in the Olympic Charter.
At the heart of the Olympic Movement is the International Olympic Committee (IOC), currently headed by Jacques Rogge. It can be seen as the government of the Olympics, as it takes care of the daily problems and makes all important decisions, such as choosing the host c ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Weight training - History Main article: History of strength training
Hippocrates eloquently explained the principle behind weight training when he wrote "that which is used develops, and that which is not used wastes away." Progressive resistance training dates back at least to Ancient Greece, when legend has it that wrestler Milo of Croton trained by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until it was fully grown. Another Greek, the physician Galen, described strength training exercises using the halteres (an ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Weight training - Benefits Many people take up weight training to improve their physical attractiveness. Most men can develop substantial muscles; most women lack the testosterone to do this, but they can develop a firm, "toned" physique, and they can increase their strength by the same proportion as that achieved by men (but usually from a significantly lower starting point) [6]. Ultimately an individual's genetics dictate the response to weight training stimuli.
The body's basal metabolic rate increases with increases in muscle mass, which promotes long-term ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Weight training - Common concerns
Weight training - Is weight training the same as bodybuilding?.
Although weight training is similar to bodybuilding, they have quite different goals. Bodybuilders compete in bodybuilding competitions, so they train to maximize their muscular size and develop extremely low levels of body fat. In contrast, most weight trainers train to improve their strength and endurance while not giving special attention to reducing body fat below normal. Weight trainers tend to focus on compound exercises to build basic strength ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Weight training - Types of exercises
Weight training - Isotonic Isometric and Plyometric exercises.
These terms combine the prefix "iso" (meaning "same") with "tonic" (strength) and "metric" (distance). In "isotonic" exercises the force applied to the muscle does not change, and in "isometric" exercises the length of the muscle does not change.
Weight training is primarily an isotonic form of exercise, because the muscles are used to push or pull weighted objects. Any object can be used for weight training, but dumbbells, barbells and ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Olympic Games - Olympic symbols The Olympic movement uses many symbols, most of them representing Coubertin's ideas and ideals. The best known symbol is probably that of the Olympic Rings. These five intertwined rings represent the unity of five continents. They appear in five colours on a white field on the Olympic Flag. These colours, white (for the field), red, blue, green, yellow, and black were chosen such that each nation had at least one of these colours in its national flag. The flag was adopted in 1914, but the first Games at which it was flown were Antwerp, 1920. ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Olympic Games - Olympic champions and medallists For all events held at the Olympic Games, a classification is made up. The athletes (or teams) who place first, second, or third receive medals. The winners receive what are called "gold medals". (Though they used to indeed be of solid gold, they are now actually gilted silver, making the description somewhat inaccurate.) The runners-up receive silver medals, and the third-place athletes bronze medals. In some events contested by a single-elimination tournament (most notably boxing), third place might not be determined, in which case both se ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Olympic Games - Olympic sports At the 2004 Olympics, events were held in 28 sports categories, per IOC count. If each sport such as aquatics was counted separately, there were 37. Nine sports were on the original Olympic program in 1896: athletics (track and field), cycling, fencing, gymnastics, weightlifting, shooting, swimming, and wrestling. If the 1896 rowing events had not been cancelled due to bad weather, they would have been included in this list as well.
At the most recent Winter Olympics, seven sports were conducted, or 15 if each sport such as skiing and ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Olympic Games - Doping One of the major problems facing the Olympics (and international sports in general) is doping, or performance enhancing drugs. In the early 20th century, many Olympic athletes used drugs to enhance their performance. For example, the winner of the marathon at the 1904 Games, Thomas Hicks, was given strychnine and brandy by his coach, even during the race.
As these methods became more extreme, gradually the awareness grew that this was no longer a matter of health through sports. The first and only olympic death caused by doping occurr ...

| | | | | Milo of Croton: Encyclopedia II - Weight training - Exercises for specific muscle groups Main article: Weight training exercises
Weight trainers commonly divide the body's individual muscles into ten major muscle groups. These do not include the hip, neck and forearm muscles, which are rarely trained in isolation. The most common exercises for these muscle groups are listed below [28].
The sequence shown below is one possible way to order the exercises. The large muscles of the lower body are normally trained before the smaller muscles of the upper body, because these first exercises require more mental and ...
