On the Bizibuz platform, multi-sport refers to any fitness activities that encompass more than one type of sport or training. For example, cross training with a fitness instructor, combining two sports such as swimming and running training to prepare for a biathlon or the game of multi-sport itself which combines rules and skills from soccer, Gaelic football and basketball. The game of multi-sport can be played indoors or outdoors, with the aim of the gam being to score goals either by scoring with the foot in the hockey net, in the basket by hand or in the basket by foot.
