Building bridges, not walls: the uniting role of sports among people and countries

Abstract

How complex sport and achieving top results is becoming increasingly clear with regard to the technological-ideological revolution, in which the world has been in the past few decades, transitioning from the industrial to a post-industrial society with a special emphasis on the increasingly loud and intrusive virtual world and reality. In accordance with computer technology and increasingly strong progress in technical sciences, sport as a competitive activity has also not remained untouched by the influence of technology. One can see that many parameters are necessary for success and that sports teams today include more and more experts from various areas, starting from fitness training, psychology, medicine, physiology, dietetics... and numerous data processing procedures, so that the teams around athletes increasingly look like small factories.
