COVID-19 Sports And Physical Activity
There are various physical activities that can be performed by individuals, groups, or teams. Activities are often done for enjoyment and occasionally for the purposes of exercise. They are usually organized into a competition that has rules and to some degree, prizes. Sports is perhaps the most popular of these activities. Sports include team sports such as soccer, rugby, hockey, basketball, etc., and individual sports such as baseball, tennis, golf, boxing and others.
Sports are played at different levels. The highest level of competition is the Olympic Games and other international events. Such competitions may be organized by a national or international organization but are usually sponsored by a national government or other entity. Other competition may be organized in schools by local school districts or in companies by departments.
Sports provide an opportunity for you to take part in physical activity and compete with others in a friendly environment. Sports can be social and friendly, whereas many other forms of physical activity are done as a way to exercise or improve health.
Sports are generally classified by the number of players in a team, by the level of competition, and the type of equipment required. Sports can be either individual (one person) or group (two to five people) activities. They often include an experienced leader who organizes the team and operates the equipment needed for play.
