1. Sports have a recorded history that dates back at least 3,000 years. This explains why so
many early games involved the throwing of spears, stakes, and boulders, as well as
one-on-one sparring with opponents. In the beginning, sports often required the
preparation for war or training as a hunter.
2. It is an activity that consists of athletic competitions based on throwing, jumping, and
running abilities. Exercise increases metabolism and burns body fat, assisting athletes in
achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. In the area of the brain that manages anxiety,
exercise produces new neurons.
3. Track events are running competitions that range in distance from sprints over short
distances to mile-long middle distance runs to marathons that are over 26 miles long.
Field events include throwing events like the javelin and hammer as well as strength
events like the shot put and discus.
