ENOS VISION & ACTIONS

ENOS Definition of Outdoor Sports

The starting point of this definition is the Council of Europe definition of sport as follows:

“Sport” means all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels.*

*RECOMMENDATION No. R (92) 13 REV OF THE COMMITTEE OF MINISTERS TO MEMBER STATES ON THE REVISED EUROPEAN SPORTS CHARTER (adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 24 September 1992 at and revised on 16 May 2001)

In relation to the core work that we do, ENOS have defined outdoor sports as activities:

  • that are normally carried out with a strong relation to nature and landscape and the core aim is dealing with natural elements rather than with an object
  • It may include activities that have their roots in natural places but use artificial structures designed to replicate the natural environment.
  • where the natural setting is paramount and that any infrastructure is minimal and focused on protecting the environment.
  • that involve physical activity
  • that are based on man or natural element power and are generally not motorized during the activity itself
  • that may use some form of tool (for example a surf board, bicycle, skis etc) or just involve the human body
