4. WHAT IS SPORT AND ITS HISTORY?

The sport
Sport is a regulated physical activity, normally of a competitive nature, which in some cases
improves the physical and mental condition of those who practice it and has properties that
differentiate it from simple play .

Sports History
There are utensils and structures that suggest that the Chinese carried out sports activities as early
as 4000 BC. C. 6 Gymnastics appears to have been a popular sport in Ancient China. Monuments to
emperors indicate that a certain number of sports, including swimming and fishing , were already
designed and regulated thousands of years ago in Ancient Egypt . 7 Other Egyptian sports include
javelin throwing , high jumping , and wrestling . Some sports from Ancient Persia such as the
Iranian martial art of Zourkhaneh are linked to skills in battle. 8 Among other sports original to
Persia are polo and jousting . On the other hand, in America, Mesoamerican cultures such as the
Mayans practiced the so-called ball game, which in turn was a ritual.

A wide variety of sports were already established by the time of Ancient Greece , and military
culture and the development of sports in Greece influenced each other. For the Greeks, sport was
a very important part of their culture, which is why they created the Olympic Games , a
competition that was held since 776 BC. C. until the year 394 AD. c. every four years in Olympia , a
small town in the Greek Peloponnese . 9 In 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era were
held in Athens , thanks to the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin to recover the spirit of the
ancient Games by adding an international character. The modern Olympic Games , regulated by

the International Olympic Committee , have become the largest multidisciplinary international
sporting event, with more than 200 participating nations.

Sports have seen their capacity for organization and regulation increase from the times of Ancient
Greece to the present day. Industrialization has increased the leisure time of citizens in developed
countries , leading to greater time spent watching sports competitions and more participation in
sports activities, facilitated by greater accessibility to sports facilities. These patterns continue with
the arrival of mass media . Professionalism in sports became commonplace as the popularity of
sports and the number of fans following the exploits of professional athletes through the media
increased.

Nowadays, many people exercise to improve their health and lifestyle; Sport is considered a
healthy activity that helps to stay in psychological and physical shape, especially in the elderly.

5. THE BEGINNINGS OF THE SPORT

The beginnings of the sport date back to Ancient China as early as 3000 BC. The existence of
preserved utensils and structures suggests that at this time the Chinese were already carrying out
sports activities.

Likewise, in the rest of the Ancient Empires (Egypt, Persia) there is also evidence that leads to the
same conclusion, but in relation to sports linked to self-defense techniques for battle.

In this way, sports were perfected, as their capacity for organization and regulation increased from
the times of Ancient Greece to the present day. Nowadays, in an industrialized society that
presents hours of leisure and a massification of the media, sports have become an indispensable
social fact and of primary importance in the civilized world: they are followed by millions of people
daily thanks to the media. of communication and generate a passion that is unique in their
followers.
