Document Summary

Is it significant, insignificant, or somewhere in the middle: using athletics, sport, play, and games as an example, essential within the realm of human movement and are the cornerstones of the scholarly study of kinesiology and physical education. How is sport different from play: game, somewhat more organized effort at play, where the more organized and playful elements of the activity become more evident, formal definition: a play activity which has explicit rules. It is necessary to understand how the attitudes and behaviors have evolved to understand our current attitudes and behaviors: example: michael oriad in reading football. Greece: no other civilization embraced athletic competition and intellectual development, as did the ancient greeks. Influence for this foundation is from egyptians, the people of crete, and possibly the phoenicians (middle east). The extent of the influence is unclear: various athletic contests and games were carried to mainland greece by merchant sailors from distant lands.
