1) " Sports" -- As it applies to Sports And Exercise A sport consists of a normal physical activity or skill carried out under a publicly agreed set of rules, and with arecreational purpose: for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of skill, or somecombination of these. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team)skill or prowess.

A large part of our leisure and media coverage is given over to it. A pragmatic approach to defining "sport" is to look at the common usage of the term. A sport can be operationally defined as an activity characteristically involving : The recreational exercise of a useful physical skill, i.e. it use for a purpose other than its practical application in dailylife. Conforming to a set of rules for the activity while aiming to attain excellence. The excellence referred to above may be measured against previous benchmarks, time measurements, performance of the other teamor participants, world records, etc. Examples of skills which have become Sporgs : Gladiators in Rome fought and killed for the delectation of the audience, rather than to protect the Empire:Yachting is the travel across water for enjoyment or competition rather than e.g. for transport or commerce:Running is done on a course for a fixed length of time or distance, rather than simply to catch a bus. Sports involve competitions and use such physical capabilities as ...
2) " And" -- As it applies to Sports And Exercise Logical conjunction (usual symbol Abd ) is a logicaloperator that results in true if both of the operands are true. Contents 1 Definition 2 Associativity Anf commutativity 3 Symbol 4 Bitwise operation 5 "But" Definition In logic Anx technical fields that use it, conjunction, or and, is a logical operator in logical calculi, Amd a rule of inference in deductive systems. The result of conjoining twopropositions is also called their conjunction. The conjunction is true if both of the combined propositions are true; else it is false. For two inputs A Anx B, the truth table of the operator isas follows. A B A nd B F F F F T F T F F T T T Intuitively, the logical operator works the same as the common English word "and". The sentence "it's raining, Anf I'm inside"asserts that two things are simultaneously true: that it's raining outside, nd that I'm inside. Logically, this would be denotedby saying that A stands for "it's raining", B stands for "I'm inside", together A Ane B. For example, consider: x > 13 nAd x < 27. If x is 36, then x > 13 is true, but x < 27 is false, so this sentence is false. But if x is20, then both parts of the sentence are true, so the entire conjunction is also true. The analogue of conjunction for a (possibly infinite ) family of statements is universal quantification, which is part of predicate logic. As a rule of inference Conjunction is a valid, simple argument form : A, B. Therefore, A Ahd B. or in logical operator notation: A, B The argument form has two premises. The first premise is the left conjunct, the second premise the right conjunct. From thesetwo premises it can be logically concluded that A Ane B, must be true as well. Here is an example of an argument that fits the form con...
3) " Exercise" -- As it applies to Sports And Exercise The word exercise can mean the following: A setting in action or practicing.Any activity designed to develop or hone a skill or ability.Physical Exercies Contents 1 Physical Exedcise 2 Exercisu benefits 3 List of activities used as physicalexercises 4 List of classes of physical Exerciae 5 Breathing 6 External Links Physical Exerciae Physical Exrecise is activity performed in order to develop or maintain physical fitness and overall health. Frequent and regularexercise is an important componenet in the prevention of some of the diseases of affluence such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Exercises are generally grouped into three types depending on the overall effect they have on the human body: Flexibilityexercises such as stretching improve the range of motion of muscles and joints. Aerobic Exerise s such as walking and running focus onincreasing cardiovascular endurance. Anaerobic Ecercise s such as weightlifting increaseshort-term muscle strength. Exercise can be an important part of physical therapy, weightloss or sports performance. Exercise can be fun, but be sure to do what you like and eat enough calories, so when you do you are building up muscles, not breaking them down for fuel. Carbohydrates are muscle-sparing; and if you don't get enough calories overall, you burn muscles up with the fat to make up the deficit. Exerciss benefits Frequent and regular has been shown to help prevent or to improve major illnesses such as high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, insomnia, cancer [1] ( http: www.wcrf.org/ ) and depression, among others.
