Jogging or walking maybe?
The answer is also going to depend on your definition of a sport. For example most everyone would agree that tiddly winks is not a sport. How about bird watching? Such an activity might often require the participants to walk or climb over rough terrain, which could clearly give the participant the benefits of strenuous excercise but does that alone make it a sport?
If you take the population as a whole it would seem to leave out the team sports. Most of us drop out of participation shortly after our high school and college years. Clearly not tennis or golf, these are too elitist and/or expensive. You can probably also eliminate just about anything that requires any kind of special equipment.

In the United States, it's baseball (softball included in this) and basketball. Outside the United States, soccer is king.
Hope that helps.
