Nature of Sports

Sports can be individual, dual, or team activities. Individual sports involve a single participant competing against a score or time, such as swimming, bowling, or track and field. Dual sports like tennis or badminton are played with one other person as a partner. Team sports require multiple teammates and equipment to play, with basketball, volleyball, and football being very popular in the Philippines. Sports provide both physical and social benefits whether played casually or competitively.
