The course addresses the issues of the position and role of sport in today’s society. It presents basic theoretical approaches to sociology of sport and particularly concentrates on the relationships between social stratification and participation in sports and on using sport as a mean for solving social problems and social pathological phenomena. Attention is primarily focused on adolescent and senior populations, their lifestyle in relation to the current face of sport.
