Abstract

Sports activities require a physical environment and the use of this environment, its resources and environmental services, necessarily results in certain effects on it and correct the potential environmental impacts of sports practice in the natural environment: If we want to continue enjoying sports practice in the natural environment, we must minimize the impacts that we can cause. We must try to control all the variables to be able to develop our activity, causing the least damage and contributing in a safe way to the development of the area. The regulation of activities that take place in the natural environment is autonomous. Knowing the existing legislation, we must bear in mind that, when we plan the realization of an activity, our proposal, its development, the chosen site, the number of participants, the duration, etc., are variables that will influence us when we can or cannot develop them as we had designed it. The term sports include the concepts related to physical activity, competitive, recreational, expressive, playful, regulated, technical, tactical. But can we consider sport a physical activity that is not competitive and exempt from rules? Who runs an hour in the country does not play sports? The RAE indicates that sports can be done simply for fun, for pleasure or as a way to use our leisure time but without pursuing the regulated and competitive aspects of conventional sport.
