The origin of sports, what are the theories of the origin of sports?

The word physical education, the English version of which is physical education, refers to education with physical activity as a means, literally translated as physical education, referred to as physical education. In ancient Greece, games, wrestling, gymnastics, etc., were once included in education. 17 In the 18th century, activities such as hunting, swimming, climbing, running, and jumping were also added to Western education, but there was no unified name.

At the end of the 18th century, the German J C F Gutsmuts classified and synthesized these activities and collectively called them "gymnastics". In the 19th century, on the one hand, a new gymnastics system was formed in Germany, which was widely spread in Europe and the United States; On the other hand, a variety of new sports have emerged one after another. More sports have been introduced in schools beyond the scope of gymnastics, and a new concept of "physical education is education through physical activity" has been established.

As a result, for a considerable period of time, the words "gymnastics" and "sports" coexisted and were mixed with each other, until the beginning of the 20th century, when they were gradually unified as "sports" around the world.

Sport sprouted and arose under primitive social conditions. It is closely related to other social activities of primitive human beings, such as labor, education, military, entertainment, medical and health care, and religious sacrifices.
