Abstract

Sport, a characteristic and prominent phenomenon of today's mass societies, hides behind its apparent simplicity an enormous social and cultural complexity. Its apparent simplicity arises from the fact that sports language and symbolism, based on the human body in motion in search of remarkable results, are accessible to all people regardless of their social and cultural level, which justifies their universality. The objective of this work is to approach sport in its relationship with various social, anthropological and cultural issues to reach the conclusion that sport is a construction of a polysemic concept, which is indisputably influenced by the environment in which it surrounds itself. and that is mutating over time, acquiring new characteristics that make it up as a broad concept.
