Introduction to sport

Sport is any form of competitive physical activity or game that aims to use,
maintain, or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to
participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators. Sports can, through
casual or organized participation, improve participants and physical health.

The precise definition of what differentiates a sport from other leisure activities
varies between sources. The closest to an international agreement on a definition is
provided by the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF),
which is the association for all the largest international sports federations
(including association football, athletics, cycling, tennis, equestrian sports, and
more), and is therefore the de facto representative of international sport. GAISF
uses the following criteria, determining that a sport should:[1]

 have an element of competition


 be in no way harmful to any living creature
 not rely on equipment provided by a single supplier (excluding proprietary
games such as arena football)
 not rely on any "luck" element specifically designed into the sport.

TYPES OF SPORT ACTIVITIES

Definitions of sport may also be accompanied by definitions for one or more


similar, closely related, activities that are ‘not sport’. A human activity involving
physical exertion and skill as the primary focus of the activity, with elements of
competition or social participation where rules and patterns of behavior governing
the activity exist formally through organizations and is generally recognized as a
sport.

1. Organized sport

The degree of organizational structure that surrounds and influences the sport helps
to distinguish whether an activity is classified as ‘organized sport’.

2. Sport participation

Sport participation is not easily defined and will often depend on how it is
perceived by the observer. As a guide, a ‘sport participant’ is a person who takes
part in a sporting activity, whether in a formal or informal capacity. Some
examples of sport participation can be described by a particular role performed in
sport (including playing and non-playing roles), such as an athlete (or player),
coach (or trainer, instructor), or official (or umpire, referee). There are many roles
in sport, and these can be volunteer or paid. How a person describes their
engagement (such as solo or group, impromptu or scheduled, or the place/setting)
can also help to determine if their sport participation is organized or not.

3. Physical activity

Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy


expenditure. It can be undertaken in many ways.

4. Active recreation
Activities engaged in for the purpose of relaxation, health and wellbeing or
enjoyment with the primary activity requiring physical exertion, and the primary
focus on human activity.
