Sport\xa0includes all forms of\xa0competitive\xa0physical activity\xa0or\xa0games\xa0which,[1]\xa0through casual or organized participation, at least in part aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases,\xa0entertainment\xa0for spectators.[2]\xa0Sports can bring positive results to one's physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in\xa0teams\xa0or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as\xa0racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest (a\xa0match) is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide\xa0tie-breaking methods\xa0to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of contests may be arranged in a\xa0tournament\xa0producing a\xa0champion. Many\xa0sports leagues\xa0make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular\xa0sports season, followed in some cases by\xa0playoffs.
