Bu durum sporun politika, kültür, ekonomi, sosyal yaşam ve uluslararası ilişkiler alanlarında çok daha geniş ve çok yönlü hale geldiğini göstermektedir. Bu alanda spor politikası, uluslararası spor etkinlikleri, sporun ekonomik etkileri, sosyal eşitlik, sporun kültürel rolü, spor endüstrisinin ticari boyutları gibi unsurların daha derinlemesine incelenmesi önerilmiştir.
