The definition of an athlete has been changing over the years. Earlier, only professionals who ran track and field events subscribed to that term. Over the last few years, however, ordinary people have taken their hobby of the outdoors to new levels. Social media has helped them find partners to indulge in outdoor activities, and an overall increase in our society's awareness of fitness has helped foster this growth. Sporting goods manufacturers and retailers have stepped up to the challenge and have created new lines of products suited to the everyday athlete.
