LESSON 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO SPORTS
Sport means all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organized participation, aim at expressing or
improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming social relationships, or obtaining results in competition at all
levels.
Types of Sports:
1. Individual Sports involve one participant on each competing side. Therefore, it requires self-motivation,
discipline, self-accountability, and self-confidence to play the game. Success and failure depend on the individual.
2. Dual Sports involve two or with one pair on each competing side. Hence, winning or losing the game is
dependent on the pair and not on a particular individual.
3. Team Sports involve more than two players on each competing side. Many variables dictate the success or failure
of the group. These variables are the qualities and skills of each participant, along with mutual understanding,
coordination, and collective effort of all the team members.
The table below shows examples of sports according to their types.
