entertrainment

(名詞/不可數) 寓運動於樂的健身課程 (fitness classes)。

引句：
So, how do we navigate this confusing world of entertrainment? How to sort off the marketing gimmicks from the genuinely useful concepts? Firstly, it’s worth repeating Beverley’s line: movement is good for you, and if fun, faddy classes help get you working out, then that’s probably a good thing. Don’t beat yourself up about loving entertrainment if it works for you.

canicross

(名詞) 狗拉著人的越野賽跑 (cross-country running)。這個字是由 canine (犬) + cross country (越野) 拼綴而成。越野跑中的狗隻都被套上特殊輓具。亦寫成 cani-cross、cani cross 或 caniX。

引句：
Canicross is the combination of cross country running and dog walking, originating from the dog sledding community. In dog sledding, participants would continue to train off-season by running with their dogs—this became known as canicross and quickly developed as a sport in its own right.
—Finlay Greig, “Everything you need to know about canicross in Scotland,” The Scotsman, December 21, 2016

Blake is a Greyster—a mix of German Shorthaired Pointer, Greyhound, and Alaskan Husky—a type of dog bred for sled racing and perfectly suited to canicross. But as the sport grows in popularity in the U.K., so too has the variance in participating breeds, especially at the recreational end of the canicross spectrum.
—Paul Snyder, “Want to Run a Fast 5K? Let Your Dog Pull You to Greatness,” Runner’s World, November 30, 2017

引句：
“The best way you can get a quick little boost is by taking some form of anabolic whatever-the-heck, but what we’re seeing in the amputee classification predominantly is what we’re referring to as tech-doping: technology doping,“ Prince said. ”Guys that were previously not competitive are now competitive only because they gave themselves extra blade height.“
—Joe Lemire, “Tech doping: How paralympic sprinters cheat,” The Week, September 13, 2016

Yet the analogy between gaining an advantage from drugs versus an advantage gained from technology is one that has been drawn frequently enough to lead to the coining of the term ‘technology doping’.
—Rosie Duckworth, “The Unbroken 2: A Pair of Nikes, An Unofficial Record, And The Age-Old Question Of Technology’s Place In Sport,” The National Law Review, May 11, 2017

One solution has been to use “bio-banding”, which involves using a formula, in part based on parental height, to determine how tall a player will be when fully grown. Players are then grouped together based on what percentage of that adult height they have achieved.
—Glenn Moore, “How bio-banding aims to stop bigger children running the show,” The Independent (London), November 13, 2015

“Early maturing boys appreciate bio-banding as well,” Cumming explained. “In a bio-banded competition, they can’t boss the game physically; they have to play a technical game and are forced to think faster, play as a team rather than doing it all themselves.”
—Jamie Doward, “Bio-banding: How scientists can help late developers become sporting superstars,” The Guardian (London), December 19, 2015

slacklining

(名詞) 走繩索運動。亦寫成 slack lining, slack-lining。
—slackline：(名詞) 走繩索運動用的尼龍繩，(動詞) 走繩索。
—slackliner：(名詞) 從事走繩索運動的人。

不過，這與一般所知的 tightrope walking (走拉緊的繩索) 不同；slacklining 係使用尼龍繩 (nylon rope)，因此當走繩人 (walker) 走在上面時，它就像一條大橡皮筋 (rubber band) 或跳繩 (jump rope) 會上下振動、左右搖晃。slacklining 又稱為 loose rope walking，而此尼龍繩又稱為 slack rope。slacklining 是一種集運動、心智遊戲和精神探求於一身的冒險刺激活動，在美國有日漸風行之勢。它都在距離地面約 1,000~2,000 英尺的高空進行，尼龍繩被繫在峽谷兩邊的懸崖峭壁上，走繩人身上利用一種安全裝置與繩索綁在一起；所以即使掉下去亦不會有危險。從事 slacklining 的人稱為 slackliner, slack lining walker 或 slacker。

引句：
The distinction separates slacklining from seemingly similar ventures, such as tightrope walking, in which the rope is stretched tightly and remains static. A slackline moves, however, and when a beginner follows the impulse to concentrate on keeping her feet still, it moves even more, swinging from side to side as the feet clench it with increasing intensity.
—Diana Saverin, "Slackliners find balance one step at a time," Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, December 11, 2011

If you saw the Super Bowl halftime show, you probably wondered, "Who's that guy in a toga bouncing crazily on a rope next to Madonna? And how's he doing it?" The guy was Andy Lewis, a slacklining champion from California, and he did it after many, many years of practice. Slacklining is different from tightrope walking. Instead of a taught [sic] line, it's performed on inch-thick nylon webbing that stretches and bounces.
—Marc Silver, "After the Super Bowl, Everyone's Curious About Slacklining," National Geographic News Watch, February 8, 2012
