The Nature of Sports Extreme Sports: Tempting Fate? Sport, games, and play are some of the most common words in our vocabulary but not necessarily the easiest activities to define. As you read the following information, think about how these three words may have acquired new levels of meaning for you. The Thrill Of The Hunt When early human society evolved from hunting and gathering to fixed agricultural communities, two things in particular happened. With a steady food supply, humans acquired more leisure time since they were not consumed with locating and hunting prey. Subsequently, they did not experience as often the thrills, risks, and rewards of the hunt. While the increased leisure time no doubt provided opportunities for invention and artistic expression, the absence of the hunt left a void. All human societies have subsequently devoted some energy toward creating games for entertainment, and a good proportion of those involve testing our physical limits. Undeclared War Ulterior motives for sports have included preparing a society s citizenry for war, either generally, as a way to keep physically fit, or specifically through competitions that emphasized military components. For example, the first Olympic Games featured running events in which competitors raced in their full battle armour weighing 20-30 kilograms. Pankration was a combat sport at the Olympics that incorporated boxing and wrestling.
