La pedagogía del deporte desde una interpretación filosófico-hermenéutica agonal

The paper analyses the pedagogy of sport through a hermeneutical method based on interpreting the essence of sport from the contrast between the agonistic aspect, which relates to education, and the certaminal one, which is closer to the competitive approach. By confronting the old and new values of sport emerges the agonistic pedagogy, whose spirit also enables us to understand the interrelationship between democracy and sport. Both, democracy and sport, are regulated by the dialogic (agonal) and the dialectical (certaminal) confrontation applied under Community principles. Finally, we suggest some methodological principles for the implementation of this sport pedagogy.
