What is hand sport?

Hand sports are any type of athletic activity that require the use of one's hands or fingers to manipulate and control an object. They may be recreational or competitive, and can range from individual activities like rock climbing and handball, to team sports like basketball and volleyball.

Hand sports are typically divided into two categories: fine motor skill sports and gross motor skill sports. Fine motor skill sports require precise and controlled movements, such as archery, billiards, and darts. Gross motor skill sports require strength and coordination, such as baseball, football, and tennis.

Some of the most popular hand sports around the world include cricket, golf, basketball, baseball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, and handball. These sports offer numerous physical, mental, and social benefits like improved coordination, enhanced cardiovascular health, increased strategic thinking and problem solving, and opportunities for socialization and teamwork.
