TANI, Go. From persons to institutions: the Janus in the system of academic ideas of physical education and sport sciences in the Portuguese language speaking countries. Rev. Port. Cien. Desp. [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.1, pp.207-217. ISSN 1645-0523.

There is a recognition that the so-called Physical Education and Sport Movement of the Portuguese Speaking Countries was very successful, along its 21 years of existence, in the achievement of its goal which is shortening distances, and approaching persons and institutions that have as a common preoccupation the study of Physical Education and Sport. It is also recognized that this success was basically dependent on actions of people rather than institutions. The objective of the present essay was to put in discussion the goals of this Movement aiming at its sustainable development in the future. It proposes that to achieve that end the Movement needs more concrete institutional actions, without renouncing the absolutely fundamental involvement and dedication of people, and discuss some concerns related to change in that strategy having as a background the idea of holon proposed by Koestler (1967).

Palavras-chave : physical education; sport; holon.
