I love to watch NFL football.

I like to play hockey.

I want to pick up curling.

I like hiking through the woods, cycling, and I would have probably also enjoyed wrestling if it had been offered for little girls when I was in school. Unfortunately, it was only offered for boys. I would have loved to have writhed around with sweaty, muscular teenaged boys in skin-tight spandex when I was that age. It's not that I like the idea of competition, but being allowed to experience human contact in a socially acceptable way would have been nice. As it was at that time, I didn't even hug my best male friend until the day before he had to move, and when I did, I started shaking. I was touch-starved, and wrestling would have been the perfect outlet. I'd like to learn defensive martial arts, but I have never had the opportunity. Does anyone here have any recommendations about what kind would be most useful for self-protection without involving seriously damaging the other person?

I don't enjoy spectator sports unless someone I know is playing.

In high school I played baskeball and was good at it but team sports are difficult for me. Distracting. And I confess to the INFP clumsiness.

I prefer one-on-one sports like billiards and ping pong. And solitary sports like hiking, motorcycling, swimming that I can do alone or with others. Don't know if you could call what I do with those three "sports" at all.

Don't like sports much at all actually - that win/lose stuff was never my focus. Keeping score is an aggravation. I'm all about, "Hey! Lookit! We're all having fun together."

gym, soccer, golf, bowling, swimming, sprining/track

I have a history of karate, squash, badminton, chess and bridge. And now I do a lot of cycling.
Any correlation with type? They all fit my I side... that's all...

Fascinated by athletics, all kinds. Love the purity of it. No idea what it means

Walking (probably hiking)
Solitary long distance running
Kayaking (haven't done it in ages, but on calm water)
Swimming
Weight training

I'd like to try climbing, I think I'd be good at that.

I don't really see them as sports. More hobbies. A kickabout with friends is always fun, too.

Frisbee rocks haha. I went out with my little bro and a friend recently to a Target store parking lot, late in the evening and threw some frisbee.
