		This suggests that the military culture of Greece was an influence on the development of its sports and vice versa.
		In this way sports evolve from leisure activity to more formal sports: relatively recent newcomers are BMX cycling, snowboarding, wrestling, etc. Some of these activities have been popular but uncodified pursuits in various forms for different lengths of time.
		Art and sport were probably more clearly linked at the time of Ancient Greece, when gymnastics and calisthenics invoked admiration and aesthetic appreciation for the physical build, prowess and 'arete' displayed by participants.

	Berg Publishers - Nudity by Ruth Barcan
		Nudity: A Cultural Anatomy is a fascinating book about a fascinating subject, and the first of its kind.
		Aside from being big business, nudity is a legal and moral minefield, the object of psychological study, and a mundane fact of everyday life.
		Nudity is one of the most fundamental metaphors in the Western tradition - indeed, it is a metaphor for human nature itself - and yet this book is one of the first to explore its paradoxes in depth.

	Should Women play Sport?
		I already mentioned that the effort expended on sports will hinder the development of wifely duties around the home; even worse is when a man has to compete against his own wife in the workplace and community.
		Sports are often the way the boy puts away the soft, sheltering world of the mother and her femininity and enters the world of challenge and danger that makes him a man....
		Given that sports may very well foster pagan and humanistic attitudes, I urge parents to think deeply about this issue and about whether or not any members of their families should participate in organized sports programs.

		Still, Hashemi views sports for women as an essential means of cultural reform, and the breakthroughs in participation and competition, she says, reflect the incremental freedoms gained since last year with the election of the relatively moderate President Mohammad Khatami, who is widely supported by women.

	Streaking - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A streaker will enter a hidden or out-of-the-way spot, undress when and where nobody is looking, and then will surprisingly and unexpectedly dart as fast as he or she can across streets, malls, sports stadiums and lawns completely naked, or, for female streakers, at least leaving the breasts and/or pubic area exposed.
		Streaking usually differs from nudism in that a streaker usually intends to be noticed and shock people and will choose a place with a large audience for their act.
		Streaking also has its fair share in sports, particularly in the sport of cricket, where it is not uncommon for a streaker to run out to the field purely for shock and entertainment value, or occasionally for political purposes.

		Naked walking, naked hiking, or Freehiking is a sub-set of the modern form of social nudity.
		Modern naturism in nude-tolerant societies is moving out of the private enclosure and towards the arena of public nudity, where it is deemed ok to be not only naked in public, but where it is also ok to be active (from a stroll to action sports) in the nude.
		The point about being active is that many people appear to find static nudity acceptable, for example in the media (porn magazines or page 3 girls in newspapers), and theatre (non-moving Greek-statue-like nudity), but moving nudity, in contrast, seems to generate heated feeling.
