The emphasis is in science and its applied issues, i.e., the biological, psychological, social and pedagogical that contribute to the development of man in sports practice. Sports´ practise is to be approached as a polissemic and polimorphic phenomena, i.e., sport as a carrier of diverse forms and meanings: education (in its general sense and that of conferring formal degrees in university institutions), health, recreation, leisure, rehabilitation and special groups, performance excellence and management.
