DIAS, Cleber Augusto G.; MELO, Victor Andrade de  and  ALVES JUNIOR, Edmundo D.. Studies of sports in the environment: conceptual and theoretical challenges. Rev. Port. Cien. Desp. [online]. 2007, vol.7, n.3, pp.358-367. ISSN 1645-0523.

This article has for purpose to preset and to argue some theoretical and conceptual challenges that we consider more important for the development of researches that have the sports in the environment as object of study. More specifically, we argue some problems related to the used conceptualizations and the lack of an adjusted historical understanding. We expected to open channels of dialogue with other researchers, as well as better searching to understand the nowadays dimensions of this social phenomenon, not only considering it from the rupture idea, but searching possible continuities of the sporting field since the modernity.

Keywords : sports in the nature; sport history; modernity.
