SPORTS Jhon Jaime Llano Arias
The sport is any physical activity that involves a series of rules or standards to play in a space or area: playing field, board, court, table, etc.
Sports are competitive activities that combine physical and intellect, not just one. Obviously, there are certain activities, which only uses physical, or just the intellect.
Although often the terms sport and physical activity (fitness) are confused, not really mean exactly the same. The difference is the competitive nature of the first, against just the fact of practicing the second.
The first sports were based on gymnastics, wrestling, and athletics, created long before ancient Greece and later these were organized in a competition that, at the moment we know as the Olympic Games.
Now, lets talk about some popular sports.
RISK SPORTS Risk sports are those that represent a real danger by the difficult or extreme conditions in which are practiced. To be considered extreme, often involve speed, height and physical effort, and a lot of adrenaline. Most of risk sports are carried out individually and require a high degree of mental demand. Some examples are: apnea, carving, longboard, motocross, etc.
FOOTBALL (soccer) It is widely considered the world's most popular sport, because it is practiced by about 270 million people. Football is a team sport, played between two teams of 11 players, and the objective is to place the ball in the opponent's porter, action called a goal.
BASKETBALL Basketball is a team sport in which two sets of five players each try to score points (double or triple), also called baskets, inserting a ball into a hoop placed at 3.05 meters above the ground from which hangs a net. The NBA is the principal professional basketball league.
VOLLEYBALL Is a sport where two teams face on a flat field separated by a central net, trying to pass the ball over the net into the opponent's field. The ball can be touched or driven, but can not be stopped or held. Each team has 3 touches to return the ball to the opposite field. Usually the ball is hit with hands and arms, but also with any other body part. One of the most unique characteristics is that volleyball players have to rotate their positions as they score points.
