"United Russia" proposed to promote a healthy lifestyle.

      March 25, 2026 14:51 Sports The implementation of a unified reward system for meeting the GTO standards and the establishment of a new social status for active families: "United Russia" proposed to encourage a healthy lifestyle. The initiatives were announced at the third district reporting and program forum "There is a Result!" in Nizhny Novgorod, which is taking place on March 25. At the round table "Sports: from yard teams to student leagues and Olympic victories," experts, professional athletes, and government representatives discussed mechanisms for engaging Russians in systematic training. The focus of the discussion was on the development of student sports, the construction of compact sports facilities in small towns, and support for enthusiastic coaches in their local areas. To make physical education truly popular and a fashionable trend, participants suggested monetizing citizens' sports achievements through partnerships with professional clubs and municipalities. "The GTO complex should not just be a formal passing of standards. We propose to build a system of 'GTO Privilege,' where sports clubs will convert badges into real bonuses — for example, participation in certain events or even tickets to home matches," said the speaker of the platform, world champion in powerlifting and holder of the absolute world record Dmitry Ivanov. To engage entire generations, it is necessary to establish the status of "Sporting Family of Russia." If both parents and children successfully pass the tests, they can be rewarded with various benefits at the discretion of the municipality, the round table participants believe. Let us remind you that the collection of proposals for the new People's Program of "United Russia" was initiated by the party chairman Dmitry Medvedev on February 19 at the first district reporting and program forum of the party "There is a Result!" in Yekaterinburg. The party will hold similar forums in all federal districts. At these forums, the government will report on the implementation of the People's Program of "United Russia" across all areas. In addition, proposals will be formed for a new program document. The party's program will consist of two documents — this is a new approach in its work. The first is the actual election program, which will gather solutions to urgent problems facing the country, and the party's work plan for the term of the future composition of parliament. The second block will contain fundamental ideological and value guidelines of the party, describing the strategic image of Russia. "United Russia" has created an expert council for the preparation of the People's Program. It includes Heroes of the Russian Federation, participants of the Special Military Operation, representatives of higher education and science, the rocket and space industry, the nuclear sector, industry and business, the real sector of the economy, public associations, and trade unions.
