The term began with those who practiced athletics.[1] Later it was extended to practitioners of struggle (in solemn games) in Ancient Greece and Rome. It can also mean a man or woman of solid build.
According to Krieger, (2007) “anyone who practices any form of sport, whether educational, participation or performance, can be classified as to the form of its practice, as amateur, non-professional and professional.” Even those who just run around the city streets in order to improve their physical shape and health are still, in the broadest sense of the word.
