		The line between sports, games, exercise and play is certainly not clear; games are often redefined as sports when they involve particularly skilled participants, which gives them appeal to non-participants.
		This suggests that sport is probably as old as the existence of people as purposive beings, and that it was a useful way of people learning and developing, increasing their mastery of nature and the environment.
		There is also a move towards adventure sports as a form of escapism from the routines of life, examples being white water rafting, canyoning, BASE jumping, and the more genteel orienteering.

	Foreign Policy Centre: Publications / DEMOCRATISING GLOBAL SPORT
		Sport matters to people – and the competing notions of identity, of internationalisation and national traditions, which are contested within sport matter far beyond it.
		Those at the apex of governance are often at the centre of sporting controversies – and the pattern of evasion and denial, shocked declarations of determination to act, but then prevarication and failure to tackle the causes has become too familiar.
		A primary goal of sporting federations has been to protect their autonomy and power – it is almost as if international sporting bodies, wedded to an absolutist conception of their own sovereignty, want to be the last vestiges of unaccountable power.
