    What about non-team sports, like running, cycling, surfing, skiing, etc. maybe there’s a defensive strategy but there’s no active defensive player. Are those also not sports?

        Not really. They meet your qualifier of greater amount of physical activity/movement.

        Sport has connotations of fast paced physical activity.

        Games like Solitaire and Golf can be done by yourself and for most people won’t be spiking your heart levels to a runners high.
