Abstrakt

Sport plays at present an essential role in social life, and it is genetically conditioned by human psycho-physical needs. It is a multidimensional phenomenon. In its anthropological-ontological aspect, sport is 1) a rest after work, 2) a departure from everyday life and a quasi-festive experience, 3) an active play, 4) a game based on fixed rules and manifesting in a symbolical manner the changeability of human fortunes, 5) competition for victory (but not a brutal aggression), 6) a fascinating para-theatrical show, 7) a form of human auto-creation. Sportive activity may play the following anthropological functions in individual and social life: ludic, hedonistic, hygienic and health-promoting, recreational, competitive, theatrical, aesthetic, socio-integrating, educational, ethic-formative, military, and adaptive for a job.
