Some international sports federations like the International Swimming Federation and the International Skating Union, may oversee multiple activities referred to in general terms as separate sports: FINA has, for instance, the power to regulate swimming diving, synchronised and diving and water polo as distinct "disciplines" within the single "sport" of Aquatics.
International sports federations constitute an integral part to the Olympic and Paralympic movements. Each Olympic sport is represented through its international sports federation.
