"parkour"の定義と意味

What is "parkour"?

Parkour is a physical activity that involves moving through an environment by running, jumping, climbing, and using other techniques to overcome obstacles. The goal is to navigate from one point to another as quickly and efficiently as possible, often without the use of equipment. Practitioners, known as traceurs or traceuses, use creative and fluid movements, such as vaulting over railings, leaping across gaps, or scaling walls, to get around. Parkour focuses on strength, agility, and spatial awareness, and it is often practiced in urban environments, though it can take place in any setting with obstacles.
