Abstract

In recent times, due to the unexpected pandemic that humanity is experiencing, sports education has been forced to face difficult challenges, which, however, underlined its importance for humanity. The restricted confinement of people has brought to light the need of human beings for movement and sport as a playful and recreational activity, holistic practice of the body, and physical exercise for the psychophysical well-being of the person. Humankind, confined in the narrow spaces of their homes in all nations of the world in the months of the most aggressive attacks of the planetary pandemic, has cried out its desperate need for sport and exercise. Sports pedagogy, as the normative science of sports education, has been called upon to rethink the new scenarios of physical and sports education from the ground. These complex scenarios have recalled what, at the beginning of our century, the sports anthropologist Ronald Renson (2001), with prophetic insight and foresight, evoked as challenges for the sport and physical education of the future. A future where, in a world increasingly permeated by the culture of sport, the advent of virtual reality, ICTs, and machine technologies profoundly reshapes the scenario for the intervention and sense of sports pedagogy as an educational science of the human body.
