Šport má svoje počiatky už v antike, kedy vznikli Olympijské hry ako symbol mieru, oslavy boha Dia a ako pokus na odstránenie vojen. V súčasnosti sa však športovaniu venuje čoraz menej ľudí, hoci sa na pravidelný pohyb apeluje čoraz viac. Ak chcete patriť k športujúcej menšine, je to dobré rozhodnutie. Ak sa však neviete rozhodnúť pre ten pravý šport, prípadne neviete, čo obnáša a čo všetko o ňom treba vedieť, aby ste si pri jeho vykonávaní neublížili, alebo vás šport len jednoducho zaujíma, v kníhkupectvách nájdete rôzne knihy z tejto oblasti.
