  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: THE SPORT LIFE OF THE FIRST TRADE ACADEMY OF CLUJ (1878-1919)

The sports life of the first Trade Academy of Cluj was an important chapter of the local sport history in the period before 1918. When the institution was founded special attention was paid to the teaching of physical education, and 35 years later the sports club of the institution grew into a well-known association nationwide, mostly due to football and skiing. The sports life at the academy started with providing physical exercise. From the moment when the institutions’ sports club was founded the students started taking up the fashionable sports of the time such as skating, cycling and football. As football was gaining ground, more and more people played this team game, and by 1905 the team of the academy had become the best football association in Transylvania. But together with the closing of the institution in 1919, the sports association ceased, as well.

Keywords: Academy of Trade in Cluj, physical education, football, skiing, fencing, athletics, skating, cycling.
