Sport has become an vital part of human
life.The word 'Sport' had originated between 1910 and 1915. Sport connotes a
physical movement governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in
competitively. Over the years Sport has undergone an amazing metamorphosis.
Sport was initially developed for recreation of the human beings. It has grown
monstrously in the recent days and become high-tech.
Sport, athletic games or tests of ability
have been undertaken primarily for the diversion or exercise of the
participants or spectators. Sport has great and wide-ranging manifestations. It
has been restricted to any play, pursuit, exercise, game or contest performed
under the given rules.
It has been played either indoor or
outdoor, on individual or team basis, with or without opposition, but requiring
skill and some form of physical effort. Some Sports, such as hunting, fishing,
running, cycling, and swimming have evolved out of the prehistoric ways and lifestyle of
human life. Some Sports, such as riding, shooting, throwing the javelin or
archery have derivative from early military practices and background. Sports
like boxing, wrestling and jumping, had arisen from the spontaneous human outburst
and challenges and occasional hostilities that had accompanied human communication.
The development of sport in the ancient,
middle ages and in the current days has been phenomenal. In the very old days,
the Greek and Roman had evinced a keen attention in developing sport. It was
the Greek who organized the Olympics and interestingly people from all over the
world participated and witnessed it. Thus modern Olympics had originated in
Athens city of Greece. The feudal system of the middle ages had hampered the
growth of sport that was revived only in the days of renaissance. In the modern
days, especially in the 20th century, sport has witnessed an organized growth
and development of games.Baseball in the US, cricket in England, hockey in
countries like India and Pakistan are some of the games that urbanized rapidly
in the 20 th century.Olympic games, Pan-American games, Commonwealth Games and
Afro-Asian Games etc have been organized and held at periodic intervals, making
the sport as an international occasion in the 20 th century.
