Interest in sport of million receivers both direct and indirect ones on the market of sport goods makes us pause to reflect upon its phenomenon. Questions like: “What is sport?” are not rare. They were asked long time ago, they are asked today and certainly they will be asked in future. Sport is such a complex phenomenon that it hardly undergoes a holistic interpretation. The purpose of the present work of a quality character is an attempt to define the contemporary understanding of the terms “sport” and “athlete” also with reference to e-sports, as representatives of intellectual sport activities. The purpose is also to indicate common areas of the traditionally understood sport and e-sport on the highest level of professionalism. According to traditionally understood sport, intellectual activities such as for example: chess, card games, automatic games or e-sports are not considered sports because of the lack of the most important designate, which is physical activity.
