New sports

Japanese: ニュー・スポーツ(英語表記)new sports
New sports
A general term for sports that have been newly invented and arranged with the aim of being easy and enjoyable for anyone, unlike modern sports such as soccer and basketball, which require a certain amount of practice and have a strong competitive principle. A uniquely Japanese expression, it means "new sports" that replace modern sports. The emergence of new sports as an antithesis to such modern sports is in line with the movement to promote lifelong sports. This trend is also a global one that has become evident since the 1970s.

Japanese:
サッカーやバスケットボールのようなある程度の練習を必要とし,競争原理の強くはたらく近代スポーツとは別の,誰でも気軽にすぐに楽しむことのできることを目的に新しく考案され,アレンジされたスポーツの総称。日本独自の表現で,近代スポーツに代わる〈新しいスポーツ〉という意味。このような近代スポーツに対するアンチテーゼとしてのニュー・スポーツの登場は,生涯スポーツの促進運動とも軌を一にするものである。また,こうした動向は1970年代以降に顕著にみられるようになった世界的な潮流でもある。
