In Venezuelan legislation, article 111 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela stipulates the following: Everyone has the right to sport and leisure as an activity beneficial to the quality of individual and collective life. If we bring the two bills to the level of comparative analysis, we can conclude that the draft law on physical education and sport at the global level is characterized not only by the fact that it is almost identical to the current law on sport – because it contains almost all the same elements, including those of the private life of sport – but also by its continuous strengthening of open and passive representativeness in active participation. It establishes the preponderance of physical activity as an invaluable aspect conducive to the bio-psycho-socio-cultural and harmonious development of the entire Venezuelan population, compared to high-performance sports. Clearly, there is no doubt that all these legal instruments described above have a major impact on the feasible projection on the psycho-physical well-being of the population; Therefore, the study and general recognition of the above laws are considered extremely important, among others, by sports teachers and students, coaches, sports directors and journalists, amateur and professional athletes, judges and sports referees. Article 25 The State, through the Ministry of Education and Sports, in coordination with states and municipalities, shall formulate public policies, develop programmes and measures for the inclusion and integration of persons with disabilities in the practice of sport through administrative institutions and technical, human and financial assistance at their national and international levels of development. For the year 2000-2001, due to the well-deserved constitutional status granted to physical education and sport (National Constitution of 1999), the hitherto endless discussion of a new law that would bring together the needs of the socio-motor skills demanded by the prosperous Venezuelan people began timidly. Law on Biological Education – although the draft Organic Law on Education has not yet entered into force, there is currently a Law on Organic Education with more than a quarter of a century, the year 1980, but with a General Regulation (2003), which – together and satisfactorily – signifies the importance of physical education, sports and leisure as fundamental components of general education. National Institute of Sport (1996). Law and Decree on Sport No. 1. Caracas: Author. The Ministry of the Branch shall determine by special decision the conditions under which this right is exercised.
▪ The Law on the Work of Organs (LOTTT), Decree No. 8.93830 of April 2012, with the rank, value and force of the organic law responsible for regulating the labor legislation of Venezuelan professional sports. The latter, and until the current date legal instrument aimed at channeling the directives and creating the foundations of sport, reports in its content attractive and at the same time practical legal and administrative scoops, so that from now on the most relevant articles are reproduced verbatim: according to Article No. 107 partially described above, the General Regulations of the Organic Law on Education (2003) are promulgated, which, in Title II of the structure of the education system, explicitly mention the compulsory nature of physical, sports and recreational education in the curricula of the pre-school, primary, intermediate and varied levels of education. professional and special, and the corresponding evaluation processes. Codes – a set of laws, organized according to a methodical and systematic plan that deals with issues that constitute a particular branch of social activity (civil, criminal, commercial, rules of procedure, etc.). This term is considered in this work because as a system of rules and / or signs (which allows to analyze, compare or decipher an action or a message) it is often and widely used in physical activity and sports as punctuation codes, code of ethics, among others. The failure to take into account the status and relationships of coaches, judges and referees in relation to the institutionality of sport, whether private or public, is a shocking and unacceptable act of reckless discrimination. As can be proven, there is not much that the above-mentioned constitution takes into account for the purposes of health, education and physical activity, recreation and sport. In this case, however, in addition to very good intentions, the commission of errors qualified by the authors of the custom or psychocoded is always observed, since what should be considered as an educational policy, public health and, in addition, as the safety of citizens, is a physical and physical activity with all its sources and components (leisure, physical culture and physical education). As for sport, which is adopted by the State as an international policy to demonstrate the benefits of the chosen political and socio-economic system, while being prescribed by the Constitution.
Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador (1990). Sports, Sports and Leisure II. Caracas: Author. As you have seen, not only is the positive scope of the Sports Act of 1995 highlighted, but it is also emphasized that not only is it absolutely deportivist, as announced in its title, and explicitly reinforces it in its Article No. 1: “This law aims to establish the guidelines and foundations of sport”, but was elaborated in a kind of monastery – with people, who were authorized by the government of the time for these purposes – without the corresponding referendum, nor on the most important issues of the world of sport such as athletes, coaches, judges and referees; This fact could delegitimize him in front of the Venezuelan people and their basic needs not only in terms of sport, but also in terms of physicality for the bio-psycho-socio-cultural well-being of every Venezuelan.
