We express sincere gratitude and wish the President of Turkmenistan, who has brought the Turkmen sports to the impressive heights and has been concerned for the health of the people, sound health, long life and success for the benefit of our Motherland!

Following the principles of a healthy lifestyle

In fact, staying active at any age and following the principles of a healthy lifestyle are important conditions for a happy life. Motion is the most reliable way to strengthen the health, to promote and to improve work efficiency. At the same time, an active person feels happy and cheerful. Moreover, people stimulate their appetites when they are running or walking in the fresh air. This process gives them the wonderful feelings that come from the harmony of motion and appetite. Experts say that medicines cannot replace physical activity. Thus, the President of Turkmenistan noted that people should be active at any age. The Turkmen leader considers the health of people to be the main wealth of the country and conducts great work in this sphere. The example of the President of Turkmenistan is a guide and a great school for our compatriots.

Horse is a loyal and cheerful friend

The magnificent works by the President of Turkmenistan demonstrate the love and pride of the Turkmen people for the Ahalteke horses. 'Ahalteke Horse – Our Pride and Glory’, ‘Winged Horses’, ‘Swift Step of Horse’, ‘A Horse – a Symbol of Faithfulness and Happiness’ are four books to enhance the glory of our heavenly horses around the world and to represent invaluable guides for equestrians and horse fans. The Turkmen leader wrote in the book ‘A Horse – a Symbol of Faithfulness and Happiness’, ‘Wherever history begins, there are the horse tracks at that time’. These words demonstrate that the ‘heavenly’ horses have had a special place and significance in the life of our people throughout the glorious history. The Turkmen people considered horses to be their wings, companions on the days of hunt, and loyal friends on holidays. People created a number of proverbs, including in ‘when you wake up in the morning, see your father first, and then see your horse’, ‘a horse is the best friend of a young man’, ‘horse is an old friend’, etc.

A symbol of courage and loyalty

The Turkmen people are one of the world’s oldest peoples. The values that our brave people have given to the world during a centuries-old history are great.

Bicycle —a means of healthy life

The word «Bicycle» was derived from the conjunction of Latin words «velox» — fast and «pes» — foot. As is known from its name, in this type of sport knee and foot parts of a leg are mostly active. Doctors have noted that as a result of continual daily cycling in fresh air, there is a very low level of possibility for developing exhaustion, anxiety and distress in a human body. Moreover, it contributes to keep metabolism in stability and eliminate excess fats. The effect of physical conditions occurring during cycling extends to 2-3 hours after stopping it. Nowadays, a bicycle is considered to be the most widespread means of transport. Its cheap price, light weight, small size, no fuel consumption and its safety increase the attraction of this type of transport. Cycling as a sport is especially popular in our country. At present construction of modern cycle tracks and other sport complexes, the wonderful tradition of our National Leader holding regular cycling marches uniting thousands of population of Turkmenistan gave a powerful impetus to developing cycling sport.
