Abstract

This article presents a terminological and conceptual discussion about the Catalan terms esport and deport. It is based on the analysis of their origin and their history. The new Diccionari general de l'esport (2010) has officially defined the term esport by reducing it to an institutionalized activity. It excludes any leisure physical activity that is not subject to regulations and that does not involve scheduled training. Will we have to resort to a new term to refer to these activities or do we already have one?
