The concept of “sport for all” in the current context

Abstract

The practice of physical exercise in loisirs, respecting certain criteria, has beneficial effects on human health. The proof of this statement is supported by numerous researches conducted by more and more specialists from the entire world. Being dissatisfied that sports were practiced only by a restricted group, the elite group, Baron Pierre de Coubertain, the founder of the modern Olympics, proposed in 1900 the concept sport for all. The essence of this concept is that this type of activity is for all categories of citizens, depending on age, sex, profession, both in urban and in rural areas, in order to fulfill more effectively the needs of each category. The international organizations of great importance such as U.N.E.S.C.O., Council of Europe, International Olympic Committee are interested in organizing and expanding sports practice in the whole world.
