Sports / Fitness / Recreation | | Spanish term or phrase: deporte de rendimiento (a Q for EN-speaker sports pros, or aspiring/near-pros) | El deporte de rendimiento se define como aquél que se practica con el objetivo finalista del resultado de la competición.
I have little other context, as this is a questionnaire. The section entitled 'DEPORTE DE RENDIMIENTO' has TWO subsections:
Deporte Professional
Deporte de Espectaculo
I wonder would COMPETITION SPORTS' be OK, with 'PROFESSIONAL SPORTS' and 'SPECTATOR SPORTS' as the sub-section titles?
Another question is - to contrast the ideas - if in the English-speaking world there is the concept of 'PERFORMANCE SPORTS'?
Any light thrown on the distinctions by native English speaker sportspeople would be appreciated.
TIA :-) |

Here is an interesting comment from an article (http://www.efdeportes.com/efd18a/democ.htm)
>>>>>>>
Se ha afirmado que en nuestros días el deporte tiene dos dimensiones: hacer deporte o ver deporte. Dentro de la primera categoría podemos diferenciar tres grandes objetivos:
Deporte con objetivo de práctica, de mejora de salud, de recreación, de juego, de ejercicio físico, de moverse, de cobertura de ocio, de aprovechar para estar con los amigos, de turismo activo, de mantenerse en forma, de mejora de la condición física, de esparcimiento, etc.
Deporte de rendimiento: es el deporte entendido como superación de marcas, de récords, de resultados, y agonístico. Selecciona a personas con cualidades específicas, según la modalidad. Juan de la Cruz Vázquez Pérez en \"Presente y Futuro de Deporte en Andalucía\" (Boletín de Información 38 Deporte Andaluz) habla de dos modalidades de este forma de deporte: a) De iniciación al rendimiento: deporte de base y b) De consecución del rendimiento: deporte de alto rendimiento.
Deporte con objetivos de rendimiento que por su impacto visual, su atractivo, su marketing atrae a las personas. Es el deporte espectáculo.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Given this, \"competitive sports\" makes the most sense.
(As you can tell, I was intrigued by this KudoZ question!)
