Atletics

Athletics is a sport that brings together many disciplines. The term athletics derives from the
Greek word "athlon" which means competition or combat. In this set of sports practices, the aim is
to overcome opponents in speed or resistance, either in distance or in greater height.

This sport is considered the oldest organized sport in the world. The first historical reference to
athletics dates back to the year 776 BC. C. in Greece, with a list of the winning athletes of a
competition.

Within athletics there are various types of tests. This is something very complex since many sports
arose due to athletics, for example: foot races (sprint, middle distance, long distance, hurdle races,
cross country, relay...), jumps (long, high, triple jump, pole vault), throws (weight, javelin,
hammer...), athletic march, and combined events. The latter are also known as the decathlon and,
as the name suggests, they are made up of ten tests: three throwing, three jumping and four
running.

The discipline was developed over the centuries, from the first tests to its regulation. The Olympic
Games are the most prestigious international event watched by the entire planet. The Olympic
Games have been held every four years since 1896 and athletics is the most important discipline in
them. Since 1982, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which is the body
responsible for regulating the discipline, has made its rules more flexible, ending the amateur
period of the discipline. The first World Championships in Athletics were organized in 1983 and
have taken place every two years since 1990.
Badminton

Badminton is a racket sport in which two players (singles) or two pairs (doubles) face each other
located on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net.

Unlike other racket sports, badminton is not played with a ball, but with a shuttlecock.

The players must hit the shuttlecock with their rackets so that it crosses the court over the net and
lands in the opponent's sector. The point ends when the shuttle hits the ground, after going over
the net.

Badminton has been, since the Barcelona Olympic Games (1992), an Olympic sport in five
modalities: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles. In the
latter, the couple is made up of a man and a woman. This sport is strongly dominated by Asian
athletes: China, Indonesia and South Korea won 28 gold medals out of 29
Basketball

Basketball2 (from English basketball; from basketball, 'basket', and ball, 'ball'), also known as
basketball, basketball or simply basketball, n. 1 is a team sport, played between two teams of five
players each during four periods or quarters of ten minutes each4 ―twelve minutes each quarter
in the NBA―. The objective of the team is to score points by inserting a ball through the basket, a
ring 3.05 meters above the surface of the playing court from which a net hangs. The score for each
basket or basket is two or three points, depending on the position from which the shot is taken, or
one, if it is a free kick due to a foul by an opposing player. The winning team is the one with the
highest number of points.

Contact with the hands next to the ball must be continuous and consecutive. The players, also
called basketball players or basketball players, cannot move from one side to another by holding
the ball, but rather by bouncing it against the ground. The team in possession of the ball or
attacking, tries to score points through shots, baskets or dunks, while the defending team seeks to
prevent it by stealing the ball or making blocks. When a shot to the basket misses, players from
both teams try to catch the rebound.

James Naismith, a Canadian physical education teacher, invented basketball in 1891 at the YMCA
in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. The sport quickly gained popularity and spread
throughout North American universities and colleges in the early 20th century.

The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) emerged in 1932 and the sport debuted at the
Summer Olympics in 1936. In 1946, the main professional league in the United States, the National
Basketball Association (NBA), was founded, where great players were trained who contributed to
the growing popularity of basketball: Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell in the 1960s and, later,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry,
Michael Jordan and LeBron James, these two the latter considered by many to be the two best
players in history.5

Basketball is one of the most practiced sports in the world, with more than 450 million players in
2013. Numerous leagues and championships are played throughout the world, especially in
Europe and more recently in Asia, where the sport has emerged in the world. XXI
handball

Handball, is a ball sport in which two teams face each other and is characterized by transporting
the ball with their hands. Each team is made up of 7 players (6 on the field and a goalkeeper), and
the team can have another 7 players (or less, or none) and up to 9 reserves in official competitions
that can be exchanged at any time with their teammates. It is played on a rectangular field, with a
goal on each side of the field. The object of the game is to move a ball across the field, using the
upper hands, to try to get it into the opponent's goal, an action called a goal. The team that scores
the most goals at the end of the game, which consists of two thirty-minute parts, is the one that
wins, and can also realize the tie.

There have been many ball games that have used the hands throughout history; However, modern
handball is relatively recent, since its first regulations date back to the last years of the 19th
century and their final standardization did not come until 1926, the year in which the rules for the
game between teams of eleven players were standardized. and outdoors, the so-called handball at
11.1 This modality came to participate in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, but over the years,
handball began to be practiced indoors, which caused the number of players to be reduced a
seven. Despite the fact that eleven and seven handball coexisted for a while, only the latter
survived, making its debut as an Olympic sport at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.1
Baseball

Also known as ball, a competitive skill sport played with a hard ball and bat between two teams of
nine players each. It is considered the national sport of Cuba and the United States, due to its
strong tradition and great popularity; it is also played in many parts of the world by people of all
ages.

Baseball is one of the oldest and most popular sports. The game, as it is known today, was
developed among children and hobby players in the early 1800s.

Match

Baseball in Cuba [1] attracts millions of spectators to the stadiums each year and entertains
millions more through Cuban radio and television.
road cycling

o Road cycling is a form of competition cycling that consists of competing on the road, unlike track
cycling that is reduced to the velodrome oval or other modalities that are not played on asphalt.
Road cycling is a very demanding sport and should not be confused with cycling, despite the fact
that a certain level of competitive demand can also be found in it, but it is assumed that you have
to be totally autonomous without assistance, unlike in Road cycling that is all much more
controlled.

road cycling

Road cycling typically takes place from spring to fall in the northern hemisphere. Many cyclists
from the northern hemisphere spend the winter in countries like Australia and Argentina to
compete or train. The Unión Ciclista Internacional's professional races range from three-week
"Grand Tours" (Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España) to one-day classics. However,
road cycling is also given in an amateur or friendly exhibition mode through different tests such as
criteriums.
football

It is defined first of all as a game that includes two opponents and a referee with the ability to
impose impartial justice. Each opponent is made up of a team of 11 players each on the playing
field, with the option of including substitute players during the soccer match.

The objective is to roll a spherical ball in order to score a point, whose score is valid when crossing
the boundary line of the opposing goal. Each point achieved is known as a goal, therefore the
team that scores the most goals in the course of 90 minutes -net time of a match- will be the
winner.

Each team must include in its squad an archer or goalkeeper, the only player capable of touching
the ball with his hands and with the task of preventing the ball from crossing his own goal; a group
of defenders; a group of midfielders and finally a group of strikers. The tactics of each squad may
vary depending on the preference of the technical director in charge of the soccer team.
Artistic gymnastics

(formerly Olympic gymnastics) is a sports discipline, often considered a branch of gymnastics,

Unlike other forms of gymnastics, the exercise of artistic gymnastics aspires to produce an
aesthetic effect during the 30 to 90 seconds of movements that it involves, that is, it is sought that
the movements are not only coordinated and correct, but also elegant, striking, beautiful Hence, it
is compared to an artistic practice.

This type of gymnastics is practiced by both men and women, either in groups or individually, and
is part of the Olympic disciplines, that is, those that are practiced in the International Olympic
Games every 4 years. The body that internationally regulates the practice of artistic gymnastics is
the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) based in Moutier, Switzerland.
 Swimming

is the recreational or sporting practice of movement and displacement on water, using only the
arms and legs of the human body. It is a technique, too, that is learned as a method of survival (in
fact, it is taught in numerous educational curricula), and that is practiced as an exercise given its
multiple benefits to the body.

Your practice can be competitive or merely recreational. As a formal sport it is one of the most
practiced in the world, included in the Olympic disciplines and carried out in pools of different
lengths (50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1500 meters). Specific swimming techniques are known as
strokes and have particular names.

Swimming is possible since the human body is slightly less dense than water, so it always tends to
float. Our relationship with water is very particular, despite being terrestrial beings, since at birth
we are extracted from a totally submerged environment such as the maternal womb.

In fact, babies show an innate tendency to swim and certain diving reflexes, such as automatic
breath-holding, decreased heart rate, and reduced circulation to the extremities (this is the
mammalian diving reflex).
