"Fifth part
There is a further point on which I would like to be able to dwell: the concept of "society" implies that each individual who is part of this association makes available to all the others the talents he has, whether they are innate or built with study , in exchange for receiving similar treatment from the other members as regards all the other talents that the former does not possess. In order for the individual to take advantage of the goods that other individuals make available to him, he must therefore offer them something that can solve problems, give pleasure, or otherwise satisfy. It has been said that sports, especially some of them, can cause pleasure in various ways to the individual, therefore, the one who intends to "create" talents, goods that can be offered to other members of society, trying to satisfy them through the offer of the possibility of doing or following sport, should follow what are the tastes of the majority of individuals, so as to have available a greater number of people who, within society, are willing to gratify it.
The number of sports facilities for the game of football exceeds that of facilities for the practice of any other discipline, therefore, when children are asked what type of physical activity they have never tried they would like to practice, the answers they get are always such as to make sports prevail for which it is difficult to find sports facilities and sports clubs that deal with them (hockey, horse riding, water polo, dance). And even if there were the availability of these, the cost of affiliation turns out to be so high that it does not allow children of all social classes to be able to attend (tennis and swimming). Likewise, among the movements that children do not know and they would like to learn, those typical of sports stand out in great frequency for which sports facilities and sports clubs either do not flourish in a particular way, or have a too high membership cost (climbing, rolling, balancing).
Ultimately, in our country and in our current historical period the presence of sport is found, even in a fairly evident way, without however the practice of the same being regulated in such a way as to guarantee its effectiveness for educational purposes. such neglect cannot be attributed solely to chance: each social phenomenon that may occur within a country can obviously be prevented or encouraged according to the measures that the current legislation has in place. After all, sport has always evolved in its concepts, manifestations and rules in parallel with the social progress of countries: in the Middle Ages sport was practiced exclusively by a few individuals belonging to the social class of the nobility. The competition regulations were such as to adapt perfectly to the needs that this type of people had (that is, especially to chase away boredom with undemanding activities from an intellectual point of view); after the year 1000 sport began to be practiced by the wealthy owners of industries and only towards the middle of the nineteenth century did sport begin to spread as pure amateurism (in England). Even in our current historical period, the socio-economic conditions of our country are such as to promote sport as a form of amateurism in the first place, only it is not charged with particular value. The current Constitution, comprising as many as 139 articles of which over 50 are dedicated to Freedom, does not include any kind of reference to sport, whether understood as an individual, collective or legal activity having educational, recreational, competitive or entertainment purposes. Several authors have refused to attribute this type of lack on the part of the constituent to chance, to a simple neglect, but to the very specific desire to exclude sport from what should be the instrument through which to guarantee man's freedom, be it understood as "Freedom to" (act), both understood as "freedom from" (fear). Some Authors have attributed this type of will, again, to the historical period in which the Constitution was created: it is their opinion that the constituent, intending to avoid the promotion of the same values that were instead encouraged in the previous regime, had voluntarily neglected to mention sport. In the fascist regime, in fact, physical and sporting activity was considered as something very important for educational purposes since stimulated the offensive spirit in the minds of young people and kept them in that state of physical vigor typical of the warrior. There is no way to come to terms with certainty of what was the reason why the constituent neglected to mention sport in the Constitution, however the opinion of these scholars, considering all the factors presented to my intuition, is well worthy of being considered very reliable: I cannot imagine a different reason why something that is imbued with such evidently great value was omitted while legislating. The absence of these sports cures by the Constitution can be found in the way in which physical education is carried out in schools: the points in which the inadequacy of the educational needs presented by children can be found, for what concerns the practice of physical education, they are different and numerous, starting with the hours of lessons that are dedicated to physical education: out of a total of 31 hours of lessons per week, only 2 are dedicated to the practice of physical activity. In fact, the time to devote to this type of practice would not be considered in a negative way, considering the young age of the students, if however it were effective. In reality it is not effective, since in that period of time that according to the regulation should be dedicated to physical education, the time for moving to the "gym area" of the school building is also included, the time during which we stop in the changing rooms and the one during which we dedicate ourselves to formalities (roll-call, various interruptions). C "it must be said, however, that in the elementary school where I carried out my investigation, the didactic program includes 2 hours of optional lessons dedicated to physical education more than the total 31 hours. The optional practice of sport can be considered positively, since sport, to be practiced at an age of about ten, is also and above all educational at the amateur level (it facilitates socialization and, through compliance with a sporting regulation, the boy is "trained" to understand what it means to live according to an "ethical regulation") and, given the great publicity that is made of this phenomenon less, it will not be difficult to find many people in these hours of optional activity. The two hours of compulsory practice, however, remain, in my opinion, too few to guarantee a correct (motor) education to the child, should he choose not to take part in the optional activity in addition to the program. To explain my point of view with regard to the hours of physical education carried out by children, it is necessary to make a premise: when it comes to motor activity for subjects belonging to the age group to which the elements of the sample on which I carried out the survey belong, it is not possible to speak of truth training, we must instead speak of "youth preparation" (Spagolla, Bortoli). Many definitions of the word "training" have been proposed: in physiology training means all those physical loads that cause a functional and morphological adaptation and a change in the organism. , therefore an elevation of the performance; in a broader sense, the term training is understood today for any form of organized education, which is purposely oriented on the rapid elevation of the physical, psychic, moral or technical-motor performance capacity of the "individual. In the field of sport we speak of sports training and with this term we generally mean the preparation of athletes for the achievement of higher and maximum sports performance (Harre).Matwejew means by sports training in a more restricted sense the physical, technical - tactical, intellectual, psychic and moral preparation of the athlete with the aid of bodily exercises, that is, by means of a physical load. We characterize sports training, in a broader sense, as the general planned process of preparing athletes for high and maximum sports performance. Sports training is the process of sports improvement oriented towards scientific and particularly pedagogical principles, which, through methodical and systematic influence on the possibility and capacity of performance, it tends to lead the athlete towards high and maximum performance in a sport specialty and discipline (Harre). Among all these definitions, the only one that, if considered as good, can make the practice of physical activity of ten-year-olds that can be considered as training is the first. It is, however, too general and, therefore, not very applicable to the specific sports sector: in particular, this definition completely neglects the ethical goal of " work out. In the second definition I cited, we speak of "rapid elevation of capacity", which, obviously, is not a goal that can be proposed to a child, since he has not yet developed those physical requisites indispensable to be able to speak of elevation of capacity. It is clear that micro-evolutionary phenomena have led children to complete development at a lower chronological age than the one in which they completed it several years ago, however, even in the current historical period (as probably forever), children belonging to the age group. "age to which the elements of the sample of the survey I carried out belong, are not mature enough to be able to offer them a" training "program understood according to this definition. In particular, the adjective" rapid "is, in this context, completely out of place.
