Sports news, developments in football, basketball, volleyball and other sports, media developments in sports and breaking sports news. Sport is physical or mental activity performed individually or in teams according to predetermined rules, usually competitive competition and personal enjoyment or the attainment of excellence. We can roughly define sports as today's civilized equivalent of the physical struggles of Homo sapiens with nature or other living things before reaching civilization. Sports can be complex activities based on strength, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility, or a heterogeneous combination of these. Power-based sports include fitness, powerlifting, weightlifting; cardiovascular endurance-based sports include swimming, athletics; Examples of flexibility-based sports such as gymnastics and pilates can be given. Examples of sports arising from the combination of these elements such as football, basketball, taekwondo and judo can be given. Because, in addition to the movements of people, sports include all the movements made with some objects such as balls and animals. Some board games based only on mental abilities are also considered sports by some. Today, there are many sports branches with their own rules and ways of playing. The oldest known sport is athletics. Etymology The word "Sport" has passed into Turkish, from the French word sport, which has the same meaning. The word originates from the Old French word desport, meaning "entertainment, physical and mental pleasure."
The 12-24 age group constitutes 29% of Turkey's population. Along with the remaining middle-aged and elderly population, the young population's need for sports is quite high. Namely; Today, both the developments in science and technology and the developments in the field of medicine have increased the average life expectancy. Thus, the need for sports is increasing. The groups that need sports can do sports primarily in sports clubs and schools. However, the number of sports clubs in Turkey is 5.988 according to 1999 data. 4,828 of them operate in football and 1,160 in other sports branches. In other words, there is one sports club for every 10,455 people, and a football sports club for every 12,967 people, based on the football branch. On a provincial basis, there is one sports club for 3874 people in Uşak, one for 14,004 people in Ankara and 14,474 people in Istanbul. Thus, big cities such as Ankara and Istanbul remain below the Turkey average. According to the population, the highest number of people per sports club is in Kilis (36,681).[1]
