CLASSIFICATION
OF SPORTS
Sports are competitions of physical strength,
skill, or endurance against opponents or against an objective standard such as
time, height, or distance.
There
are a number of systems for classifying sports, based on different criteria.
1. Team – Individual
Team
sports are practiced between opposing teams, where the players interact to
achieve the objective of the game.
Individual
sports are based on one-to-one confrontation or timed races.
2. Opponent – Achievement
The
objective of opponent sports is to defeat the opponent in combat, court or
board games.
Among achievement
sports the following categories can be distinguished: target, display, strength
and endurance.
3. Environment
This
division is based on the environment where the sport is performed, e.g. stadium
sports, court games, water sports, etc.
4. Professional – Amateur
Professional Sports are conducted for
profit by entrepreneurs who pay athletes depending on their popularity and
performance. Professional sports are regulated by leagues or associations that
set rules of competition and often are involved in regulating the salaries and
working conditions of athletes.
5. Spectator Sports
A spectator sport is one that is
characterized by the presence of spectators at matches or competitions.
Spectator sports may be professional sports or amateur sports. Car racing is one
of the most popular spectator sports in the world.
6. Olympic Sports
The Summer Olympic
Games include 28 sports with 38 disciplines, the Winter Games include 7 sports
with 15 disciplines. Until 1992, the Olympics also often featured demonstration
sports. The objective was for these sports to reach a larger audience; the
winners of these events are not official Olympic champions. These sports were
sometimes sports popular only in the host nation.

any other criteria for classification?
