reacweb may not be a native English speaker (they live in France). I'd assume "sport" translates to "exercise". Like running or biking.

Sport has plenty of (somewhat archaic) meanings. "Sporting goods" stores often carry running shoes, bicycles, and weights, all of which are "sport" even if you're doing it by yourself.

I'm a native Brit and I would definitely call running a sport, I wasn't aware that it had a competitive connotation at all.

It wasn't my intention to suggest things like running aren't sports, but on reflection whilst running is often a sport, it can also be just exercise.

I think training, and competition, rules, and some form of winning are elements of all sports.

It wasn't clear to me if they meant competitive physical activity, or not.

Perfectly right. "Le sport" is used for anything exercice related and also includes soccer, hockey, ...
