“…En lo que respecta al deporte de alto rendimiento, en el que el principio de competencia regula tanto el ejercicio oficial como la propia dinámica inherente a su ambiente acelerado, escalar y autotélico, 12 una de las consecuencias indeseadas tal vez se 11 La emergencia y la consolidación de deportes como el parkour, por ejemplo, que no necesariamente son de élite o buscan su profesionalización, solo puede comprenderse a la luz de la aceleración social; su originalidad, de hecho, es sintomática de una forma particular de habitar las ciudades contemporáneas y la peculiar contracción del tiempo presente que por norma general las aqueja (Højbjerre, 2021).…”

Behind the allegedly intuitive relationship between sport and society, different ways of analyzing the normativity shared by both spheres coexist. Regarding high-performance sports, as a natural extension of modern sport, there are non conclusive developments comprising one of the most suggestive and explanatory late-modern diagnoses: that of social acceleration. Consequently, the article investigates the connection between the contemporary way of life and the principles, rules and values that dominate the generality of high-performance sports today, by means of theory and social philosophy tools, and to a lesser extent, of contemporary philosophy-of-sport's categories. It is argued that this connection constitutes a plausible line of analysis to overcome the usual discussions and diatribes between externalism and internalism, since it allows to highlight cultural determinations that, being morally undesirable and unwantedly promoted by those who dedicate their time to the phenomenon of sport (as spectators or consumers), manage to explain the functionality that high-performance sports fulfills in the reproduction of a certain general socio-ontological framework within contemporary societies.

This article offers a governing, trans-disciplinary theory for understanding physical activity in humans. The Unifying Theory of Physical Activity involves three aspects. First, it frames physical activity as an essential human act resulting from inherent urges: to feel, to explore, to transform and to connect. These urges prelude and compel peoples' involvement in physical activity and contribute to the meanings and purposes that sustain life and growth. Second, we argue the act of physical activity is made of three conditions. Physical activity possesses a potentiality, and it is distinct and integrated. Third, at the external level, there are social, political, and situated forces that interplay with the urges and shape human experience in / of physical activity. We offer conclusions about how this theory can inform research, policy, and practice about physical education, physical activity and health promotion.
