Sport Geography

Sport geography is the study of how geographical factors influence sports and physical activities. It examines how location, climate, culture, and infrastructure affect the types of sports that are popular in different regions. For example, skiing thrives in mountainous areas, while surfing is popular in coastal regions. It also looks at how events like the Olympics impact local economies and how sports facilities are distributed across cities. By understanding these geographical dynamics, we gain insights into the relationship between people, their environments, and the sports they engage in.
