History of sports

The history probably extends as far back as the existence of people as purposive sportive and active beings. Sport has been a useful way for people to increase their healthy and the environment. The history of sport can teach us a great deal about social change and about the nature of sport itself. Sport seems to involve basic human skills being developed and exercised for their own sake with being exercised for their usefulness. It also shows how society has changed its beliefs and therefore there are changes in the rules. Of course, as we go further back in history the dwindling evidence makes the theories of the origins and purposes of sport difficult to support.
