- For José María Cagigal, sport is a broad concept involving spontaneous fun, disinterested physical exercise and activity, understood as personal improvement and subject to rules.
- For Pierre de Coubertin, who inspired the modern Olympic Games, sport is a cult of voluntary and intensive muscle workout routines based on the desire for progress.
- For Pierre Parlebas, sport is a driving situation characterized by three defining parameters: motor action, regulated competition, and institutionalization.
