A importância do esporte como instrumento de inserção social

Abstract

The sport is considered one of the most important sociocultural phenomena of recent years due to its growing number of practitioners. Therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze the importance of sport as a tool of social inclusion. It is a bibliographical research with retrospective bibliographical survey, from the year 2010 to 2023, through the scielo and lilacs platform, using the search descriptors: sport, social inclusion and society. The results showed that the sport is closely related to education, a method used with the purpose of transforming the citizen, present in all human societies and is part of human as a social and historical being. Thus, the practice of sports for adolescents inserted in social insertion must be able to place senses and cultural, political and, therefore, human meanings. It is concluded that sport can contribute to a better integral formation of children and adolescents, as long as the sport has broad and unrestricted access and that the potential of current sport in contributing in this context is explored.
