Title | Defining extreme sport: conceptions and misconceptions |
Authors | Cohen, R., Baluch, B. and Duffy, L. |
Abstract | One feature in how sport is defined is the distinction between extreme and non-extreme. BASE jumping is an example of an ‘extreme sport’ because it involves a high degree of ‘risk’, whilst swimming is classified as ‘non-extreme’ because the risks are minimal. This broad definition falls short of identifying the extent of risk and ignores the psychological, social-demographic and life style variables associated with engagement in each sport. |
