The International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness (IFBB), headquartered in Madrid, Spain, is an international amateur sport's governing body for bodybuilding and fitness that oversees many of the sport's major international events, notably the World and Continental Championships.〔IFBB.com About The IFBB, ("About The IFBB" ) Retrieved on 20 November 2015.〕〔IFBB Constitution , ("IFBB Constitution March 2015" ) Retrieved on 20 November 2015.〕 The IFBB is one of the largest and most active sports federations in the world and is recognized by 90 National Olympic Committees. The Federation participates in the World Games and several Regional Games recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) program.〔 Some of the Federation's main objectives are "to develop, promote and control the sport of bodybuilding and fitness on an international scale," and "to promote an interest in, and a dedication to, better health and fitness through physical culture, proper nutrition, and weight training." 〔 The IFBB is a member of SportAccord. The IFBB is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code in full compliance with the 2015 WADA Code.〔 ==History== In 1946, the IFBB was founded by brothers Ben and Joe Weider in Montreal, Canada under the name "International Federation of Bodybuilders". The two founding countries were Canada and the United States. Mr. Ben Weider of Canada served as the first IFBB President. In 1965, the IFBB held its first professional bodybuilding competition, the Mr. Olympia.〔IFBB Professional League Website ("About Us" ) Retrieved on 22 November 2015.〕 From 1946 to 1970, the Federation experienced rapid growth as Joe and Ben Weider promoted the organization globally. By 1950, Ben had visited over 30 countries and in 1955, he traveled to Kiev, Prague, Warsaw, and Moscow to expand the IFBB further. By 1970, the IFBB had directors in more than 50 countries worldwide and the IFBB had its footprint in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, North America, and South America.〔IFBBPro.com ("Congress History" ) Retrieved 26 November 2015.〕 On September 4, 1970, the IFBB held its 1st International Congress in Belgrade, Yugoslavia where a Constitution was adopted and an Executive Council.〔 In 1971, the IFBB became a member of the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), now SportAccord. Upon receiving membership, the IFBB became the only official representative of bodybuilding to be recognized by world sport authorities. From the 1980s to his death in 2008, IFBB president Ben Weider petitioned the IOC for inclusion of bodybuilding in the Olympic Games.〔IFBBPro.com ("Anti-Doping History" ) Retrieved on 24 November 2015.〕 Although bodybuilding had never been on the Olympic Program, in 1998, the IOC granted the IFBB provisional recognition, which lasted nearly four years, but was withdrawn in 2001.〔SportSci.org ("Bodybuilding as an Olympic Sport?" ) Retrieved on 27 November 2015.〕〔Rbimba.It ("2001 Congress" ) Retrieved 27 November 2015.〕 In 2004, the IFBB was renamed the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, and maintained the "IFBB" abbreviation. The following year, the IFBB adopted new IFBB Anti-Doping Rules following the World Anti-Doping Code. The IFBB Professional Section was legally split from the IFBB to form the IFBB Professional League, its own legal entity with its own rules and regulations. In turn, the IFBB Constitution becomes a governing document for the amateur sport only.〔 In 2006, after 60 years, Ben Weider resigned from his role as president and Dr. Rafael Santonja from Spain was elected as the new president. The IFBB headquarters were moved to Madrid, Spain. In 2010, Santonja was reelected for a second term, and in 2014, he was reelected for a third time at the IFBB World Congress in Brasilia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
