Jousting was a sport, and a practice of the techniques used in warfare by the chivalric classes.
As a sporting event, it was normally performed in safer equipment (the heavier, less mobile jousting armours and helmets to protect the wearer, and blunted lances), but the techniques were the same. In such context it served to both demonstrate the competitor's prowess in the pageantry and ceremony associated with the chivalric ideals, and as a horseman and in warfare in the techniques of use of cavalry charge and lance which could be called upon on the battlefields.
It was, in effect, a highly stylised practice for war.

In the Middle Ages, jousting was primarily a noble sport reserved for knights and other members of the aristocracy. It was seen as an opportunity for knights to showcase their skills, valor, and chivalry. Commoners, such as peasants and townspeople, were generally not allowed to participate in jousting tournaments.
While jousting was a very popular form of entertainment it became less popular in favor of other sports that were found to be more entertaining.
Hunting, Jousting tournaments, Banquets where large amounts of food and drink were available. I would guess a lot of "naughty" stuff went on too!
