HOMO LUDENS, HOMO SPORTIVUS - SPORT ALTERNATIVELY LEISURE

Summary/Abstract: Sport is a specific race activity, a specific competition activity with an educational and recreational dominant, and the commercial and the professional orientation must pass in the background, and the sport as a leisure returns to the basal values: health, education, recreation. The idea of sports and leisure should be seen as an elite group as proposed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1900 under the heading of 'Sport for All. Sport as leisure is a form of education included in the culture and contemporary civilization. If we want to isolate the methodological sport as leisure from the sport performance, then it refers to the human community, undifferentiated of economic, social, physical or age level. In the context of sport as leisure should be integrated any person. In Romanian of the last 15 years sport as leisure has become a necessity. Sport perceived as leisure insists on training of the trainers, who are required to overcome the types of economic signals and to understand the gradual change of culture. In the third millennium the physical activity became a business of first performance, on the other hand it is a clear need of harmonious development of every individual body. The Olympic spirit glorifies the good order, social order, balance, glory. The actual civilization resumes the motto "Citius, Altius, fortius" ( "faster, higher, stronger") like self-overcoming idea.
