Trim - torimu (English spelling) trim

Japanese: トリム - とりむ(英語表記)trim
Trim - torimu (English spelling) trim

A popular movement to regulate the body and mind and to maintain and improve health through sports and physical activity. The original meaning of trim is a Norwegian word meaning to keep a boat balanced. It has since come to mean restoring balance to the body and mind of modern people. It was proposed by Pau Mor of Norway in 1967 and started by the Norwegian Sports Federation. The following year, 1968, the Nordic countries implemented it, and in 1970, West Germany took up the movement, and it has since spread to other European countries and the world. In 1973, the first Trim International Conference was held in Frankfurt. In West Germany, the message was "Trim yourself through sports" with the aim of practicing sports and physical activity voluntarily in daily life and leading a healthy and bright life, and physical activity was encouraged to be done easily and freely by anyone, anywhere, anytime. It does not aim to train top athletes, but recognizes the significance of actively engaging in physical activity in daily life.

スポーツや身体活動を通して、身心を調整し、健康の保持・増進を図る普及運動。トリムの原義は船のバランスを保つというノルウェー語。転じて現代人の心身のバランス回復を意味する。1967年にノルウェーのパウ・モアが提唱し、ノルウェー・スポーツ連盟によって始められた。翌68年には北欧諸国が実施、70年に西ドイツがこの運動に取り組み、以後ヨーロッパ各国をはじめ、世界に広がった。1973年にはフランクフルトで第1回トリム国際会議が開かれた。日常生活のなかにおいて、自発的にスポーツや身体活動を実践し、健康で明るい生活を行う趣旨で、西ドイツでは「スポーツによって、あなた自身をトリムしよう」と呼びかけ、いつでも、どこでも、だれでも、手軽に、自由に行う身体活動を奨励した。一流選手養成に目的を置かず、日常生活のなかで身体活動を積極的に行うことに意義を認めている。
