Abstract:

In contemporary societies, it is possible to study the sport phenomenon from a very different perspective. Sports enables individuals to develop throughout their lifetime in the physical, emotional and psycho-motor areas and to demonstrate strong performance by gaining social identity and group membership. In addition, the individual adapts to the daily life with the sports activities he deals with, while through these activities he will learn to look more positively to life by developing cooperation and the socialization process entering away from the fatigue associated with the daily running, from spiritual loneliness, from single-to-one habits and communication problems. With the increase in achieved achievements in this process, the social development and the step taken in the way of finding its own self will also strengthen human-social relationships. The individual who learns to establish dialogue, to comply with group norms, to provide physical and spiritual self-control will thus put the foundations of a personal and social discipline. This article will focus on the results of this change and development by addressing the individual and social development they obtain through the awareness that individuals gain through their sports activities.
