The main goal of studying the subject is to study the general social environment with all the specifics, conditions, functions and organization of sport in society, the influence of sport on society and vice versa, the influence of society on sport. The further goal of studying the subject is the upbringing, education and training of students for conscious, active and successful engagement in sports and deepening knowledge about the importance of sports in society. Critical analysis of practice in sports achieves a higher level of scientific explanation, generalization and discovery of legality. In addition to education and research, as a basic mission, it is necessary to direct students to cooperation with the community, to serve the community, but also to engage in the community on the topic of sports. Without a theoretical generalization of the problems of sport, it would be difficult to guide practice.
