Sport (or, in the United States, sports) is all types of competitive physical exercise which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve the man cave physical fitness and provide entertainment to participants. Countless sports exist, from those requiring only two participants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. Sport is usually recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions including the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition, [3] as well as other organisations including the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities with no physical element from classification as sports. But a number of competitive, but non-physical, actvities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as genuine sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports, although limits the quantity of mind games which is often admitted as sports.
