Lawn bowls (is that in there?), archery (because it's similar
to air rifle, especially with a compound bow) or anything that relies
mainly on kit (like sailing) and you can just do sitting down (I've
sailed all day in a 14' dinghy and I'm no athlete). ;-)

Cheers, T i m.

Cycling fits your non-sport criteria then.

I've sailed all day in boats large and small. I've also raced in
dinghies and 30' boats. There's a world of difference in the amount of
sweat you lose when racing - and how tired you are afterwards. Not much
sitting down either. A lot of sports rely on kit but still need training
and superb fitness to excel.

Rowing (boat,oars), orienteering (compass), formation skydiving (ok, you
don't need kit to do it, just to survive for the next round).

I presume that you would rule out performance enhancing clothing for
e.g. swimmers suit, running shoes.
