About this title

Synopsis

High performance sport or elite sport is sport at the highest level of competition, with elite athletes as the competitors. In sports administration "high performance sport", where the emphasis is on winning prestigious competitions, is distinguished from "mass sport" or "recreational sport", where the emphasis is on attracting the maximum number of participants. High performance sport overlaps with professional sport but is not the same; for example, the English football league system and Minor League Baseball include lower divisions whose teams' members are full-time professionals; on the other hand, competitors at the Olympic Games or World Games in some minority sports may be part-time or rely on government grants.
