100 cm sprint

Yuru Sports 100 cm Dash Test 1

This 100 cm dash might look extremely plain, but it’s actually very deep and physically demanding! The rule is simple: the athlete who takes the longest time to cover 100 cm wins.

However, there seem to be various fouls to watch out for.

When you compete within the set regulations, you realize just how much core strength and concentration this 100 cm dash requires.

Black Hole Table Tennis

A racket with holes!? Table tennis in space! Nice hole with a black hole! (Taking on a Yuru Sports challenge)

It’s a game called “Black Hole Ping-Pong,” where you actually play table tennis with rackets that have holes in them.

If the ball happens to go perfectly through the hole, you’ll whiff cleanly in a very satisfying way.

You won’t score, which is frustrating, but whenever the ball slips through the hole, both teams—no matter friend or foe—shout, “Nice hole!” The racket holes come in sizes from S to LL, and while it’s pretty tricky, it’s a relaxed, friendly sport that everyone can enjoy.

Palm Volleyball

Let’s try it! Recreational Sports: “Palm Volleyball”

Palm Volleyball is attracting attention as a sport that blends fitness with a competitive element.

Using a 30-gram dedicated ball, players compete to see how many consecutive passes they can make without dropping it, striking the ball with the palm rather than the fingers.

It’s a new sport that can even be played while seated.

Because the same rules apply regardless of age or gender, everyone can enjoy it together.

You can also adjust the rules to match participants’ fitness levels, making it a great recreational activity to customize and try in a way that suits your group.

Speedlifting

Speedlifting

This is a competition called Speed Lifting, where a team lifts a long—very long—barbell connected by magnets while keeping it balanced.

The barbell itself is light, but because it’s held together by magnets, it will come apart if the balance is off.

Teams have to move in sync, and the team that completes the most lifts within the time limit wins.

It’s a casual, fun sport.

Flip it and paoohn!

Smaller children can sometimes move more nimbly and quickly.

It’s a genuinely serious sport—more authentic than it looks—where adults and kids can compete on equal footing.

The rules have you pretend to be an elephant and move your body joyfully.

With the simple “just flip it” gameplay, even children under three who don’t understand the rules can have fun, so it’s recommended for families with very young kids!

Emo ogre

A new, tech-infused disaster-preparedness “Yuru Sports” jointly developed by the General Incorporated Association Bousai Girl and Yuru Sports.

Its appeal is that participants naturally pick up disaster knowledge and the idea of mutual aid.

Central to it is the “Emo-san Face,” a sports mask whose expression constantly changes like “nature.” Players enjoy trying to escape from an “ogre” wearing this mask to a safe zone.

At times, it’s not just about yourself—using teamwork and mutual support to evade Emo-san is key, adding a strategic element that rewards clever thinking.
