What that means on the page

This exclusion applies to treatment needed because the insured person took part professionally in hazardous or adventure sports. The official wording gives examples but does not limit the category to that list.

This explains the standard wording. Your policy schedule, endorsements and other clauses may change how the document applies to you.
