Few are track stars, but there are many joggers. Not everyone can master the slopes, but almost everyone can ski cross-country. Camping isn’t rough in a plush recreational vehicle. Today’s sports participants aren’t all supermen either; many are women. Male or female, few are super. There are just as many, if not more, hard-core athletes as there used to be, but their ranks have been swelled by people who never thought they had athletics in them, or those who thought sports and games were just tricks for kids. A participation-consciousness has emerged from this generation. Whatever started it, recreation as an industry now seems unstoppable. Manufacturers make new products such as folding canoes, windshields for bikes, and gum that quenches thirst. Most of the products sell. So do hundreds of models of skis and jogging shoes. Bookstores have stacks of models and texts on recreation. Every minor sport has its own magazine, and skateboarding has three. Several newspapers have whole sections devoted to recreation. Despite claims for almost every minor sport that it is the fastest growing activity in the country, the sports that really are growing the fastest are those in which adults can learn and participate at any age and that make them feel better all day long. Racquetball, jogging, and cross-country skiing top the list. The goal is fitness, not Tarzan physiques. Adults simply want healthier hearts and lungs.According to the passage, participatory sports are becoming more popular because:

- C.

- D.
