Spanish term or phrase: sugerente
From a Spanish tourist agency article: "En teoría, no existe un deporte más SUGERENTE que otro, porque todos pueden adaptarse al perfil del recién llegado." The dictionary definition of "suggestive" doesn't make sense to me here. Can the writer mean that no sport "suggests itself" more than another to the beginner? If not that, what?

In theory, no sport is any more advisable than the next, because each of them is adaptable to the needs of the newcomer.

suitable / inviting


Explanation:
might that mention of a beginner indicate physical constraints? If so, I suggest suitable. If not, then I prefer inviting (to participate ...)
