Veteran tournament «Spirit and strength» is aimed at popularization of active lifestyle, physical endurance and mutual support of combat participants.
The event united military veterans for whom sport became an important component of recovery and self-realization. The team of Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs was represented by Ivan Zmiyevskyi, Viacheslav Panin, Artem Formalov, Yevhen Kornilov and Ihor Krasnoshlyk.
Participants tested themselves in several power disciplines: bench press for number of repetitions, armwrestling, strict barbell curl on biceps, as well as in exercise on grip strength with lifting weight with fingers. Each of the directions required not only physical preparation but also concentration, endurance and persistence.
Veterans of DSUIA demonstrated not only worthy level of sports form but also volitional character that allowed them to show good results in different nominations. Conducting such tournaments has important social significance since it unites people with common experience, motivates to move forward and forms an environment of mutual respect and support.
DSUIA consistently supports initiatives that contribute to integration of veterans into active sports and public life.
