One feature of how sport is defined is the distinction between extreme and non-extreme sport. BASE jumping is an example of an "extreme sport" because it involves a high degree of risk, whilst swimming is classified as "non-extreme" because the risks involved are minimal. This broad definition falls short of identifying the extent of risk and ignores the psychological, social-demographic and life style variables associated with engagement in each sport.
体育定义的一个特点是极限运动与非极限运动之间的区别。定点跳伞是“极限运动”的一个例子,因为它涉及高度风险,而游泳则被归类为“非极限运动”,因为其涉及的风险极小。这种宽泛的定义未能确定风险程度,并且忽略了与参与每项运动相关的心理、社会人口统计学和生活方式变量。
