Sports training: an eternally unfinished work

Abstract

From the relational triad of Human-Society-Sport, interpreted as an open and dynamic system, numerous issues frequently arise that demand from Science, not only as a fundamental instrument for interpreting lived realities but also as a forward-thinking agent, a vigilant and innovative stance. The meaning and significance of Sports Training in the contemporary world, considering the sociocultural context in which we are embedded, is one of the themes that appears to stand out and deserves heightened attention, particularly given the increasing speed at which information is created, made available, and disseminated. This dynamic challenges the concepts upon which we construct our worldview. Thus, this brief opinion piece aims to explore questions that, based on the reference framework guiding us and the associated empirical experience (praxis), may allow us to formulate hypotheses that contribute to a renewed interpretation of this conceptual instrument and its various applications. This reflective effort, which only gains expression through sharing and debate, underscores inherent characteristics of the human condition and must continue, opening space for further and diverse contributions. In this ongoing construction, we find different responses to prevailing needs.
