O significado e a abrangência do direito ao esporte a partir de documentos internacionais

The idea of the right to sport acquired institutional concreteness from the publication of humanistic sports documents throughout the 1960s and 1970s. However, the meaning and scope of this right in the documents was little explored in the literature. In view of this academic gap, this article aimed to weave the teleology and dogmatics of the right to sport from the documents that proclaimed it internationally. A theoretical-exploratory research was adopted based on the analysis of documents. It was identified that sport is not comprehended exclusively in its strict sense of competition, but rather in an embracing perspective. This perspective encompasses the body practices components of the physical culture as a whole, commonly treated under the denomination of sport for all. The right to the sport is conceived from a systemic logic of promotion of the sports practice especially by the public power to all the people, starting in the scholastic physical education and extending to the leisure time from the availability of accessible sports infrastructure and free.
