 Sports participation in Cuba was also universalized and thus made an essential component of revolutionary activity.The term coined to describe such a process was Masividad, and sports served the purpose to not only educate and train the Cuban people, but also to allow them yet another opportunity to fit in an egalitarian society that conformed to the very principles of the revolution.The Cuban people also became healthier due to their participation in sporting related activities, especially those that promoted physical education.
