Sport

Sport is an activity that
is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports
commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor
are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing), but the
term is also used to include activities such as mind
sports and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality
are major factors.

There are artefacts and structures that suggest
that the Chinese
engaged in sporting activities as early as 4000 BC. Gymnastics appears to have
been a popular sport in China's
ancient past. Monuments to the Pharaohs indicate that a number of sports,
including swimming and fishing, were well-developed and regulated several thousands
of years ago in ancient Egypt.
Other Egyptian sports included javelin throwing, high jump, and wrestling.
Ancient Persian sports such as the traditional Iranian martial art of Zourkhaneh
had a close connection to the warfare skills. Among other sports that originate
in Persia are polo and jousting.

A wide range of sports were already established by
the time of Ancient Greece and the military culture and the
development of sports in Greece
influenced one another considerably. Sports became such a prominent part of
their culture that the Greeks created the Olympic Games, which in ancient times
were held every four years in a small village in the Peloponnesus
called Olympia. Industrialization has brought increased
leisure time to the citizens of developed and developing countries, leading to
more time for citizens to attend and follow spectator sports, greater
participation in athletic activities, and increased accessibility. These trends
continued with the advent of mass media and global
communication. Professionalism became prevalent, further adding to the increase
in sport's popularity, as sports fans began following the exploits of
professional athletes through radio, television, and the internet--all while
enjoying the exercise and competition associated with amateur participation in
sports.

In the new millennium, new sports have been going
further from the physical aspect to the mental or psychological aspect of
competing. Cyber sports organizations are becoming more and more popular.

Activities where the outcome is determined by
judgement over execution are considered performances, or competition.
