Abstract

ABSTRACT There is a plethora of distinct terms with a range of theoretical assumptions describing these practices, among them ‘adventure sports’, ‘outdoor recreation’, ‘high-risk sport’, ‘extreme sport’, and ‘lifestyle sport’. Some scholars have tried to clarify this terminological and conceptual problem, but no consensus has been reached. The present article unpacks these terms. Then it proposes the concept of nature challenge as a valid conceptualization that identifies the essence of nature sport as conceived of in this special issue and in the wider field of such activities.
