El libro aborda el deporte desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, entendiéndolo no solo como una actividad física o recreativa, sino como un fenómeno social, cultural y científico. Se analizan sus implicaciones en distintos campos como la sociología, la psicología, la pedagogía, la fisiología y la medicina, estableciendo así el deporte como un objeto de estudio complejo y relevante. Además, se presenta al deporte como un sistema social estructurado, con normas, roles, instituciones y funciones dentro de la sociedad. Se estudian sus transformaciones históricas, su profesionalización, su papel en la educación, en la salud pública y en los medios de comunicación. El texto propone una visión crítica y reflexiva, invitando a los lectores a comprender el deporte más allá de su práctica, como un fenómeno que influye en la construcción de valores, identidades y dinámicas sociales.
