PEH3 Flashcards
Is part of human civilization. In the past, empires send forth a “champion” to fight other champions in a competition or battle, reducing the death toll to a minimum as supposed to thousands. Eventually sports became a form of entertainment, as well as an avenue to practice & show physical prowess & skill.
Sports
Sports, by nature, is made up of rules. These rules are put in place for several reasons (3):
1. Rules are set for safety.
2. Rules are set up for a sport or game to be playable.
3. Rules exist so that the sport is marketable.
Skill, strength, speed, power, agility, reaction time, competitive
acumen. These characteristics can be shown as competitors try to best each other given a set of parameters that will minimize, if not totally eliminate & harm to each other & to everyone.
Rules are set for safety.
e.g., boundary lines are usually put in place to eliminate players who run away. This might sound too simplistic unless we think of specific situation. Imagine laying basketball without an outside line. Once a team scores, the next time they have ball possession, they can just dribble the ball away & wait it out.
Rules are set upp for a sport or game to be playable.
The same logic goes from time. If there are no time constraints, then a basketball team will not have the need to drive the ball to the other side of the court & shoot the ball.
Rules are set for a sport or game to be playable.
In boxing, or most martial arts, a player needs to attack given an allowed amount of time.
Rules are set for a sport or game to be playable.
In weight lifting, the participant needs to lift the weight within a given time after his/ / her name is called by the officials.
Rules are set for a sport or game to be playable.
A sport that is not understood by the audience alienates that audience. If the spectator is watching & knows the rules, then the spectator is drawn into the game.
Rules exist so that the sport is marketable.
The thrill of winning or agony of losing is shared
by the players & the audience. When the audience knows the rules, the demonstration of skills, technique, prowess, strength, & all bases for the sport, they will want to watch & engage. This will help the sport gain popularity.
Rules exist so that the sport is marketable.
