VENEGAS ALVAREZ, Sonia. The fundamental right to physical culture and sports: an economic, social and cultural right of recent constitutionalization in Mexico. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2019, n.41, pp.151-180.  Epub Apr 22, 2020. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2019.41.13944.

The right to sport and physical culture recognized as fundamental by the Mexican legal in 2011 represents the first step in order to achieve the materialization in our country. The right to sport could be understand as the governed´s prerogative to acquieve and develop knowledge related to his body and the movements thereof, as well as to practice of physical activities either for leisure or in a profesional manner under the protection of the State, which being obliged to the protection, respect and promotion of it. But perhaps, the most relevant issue is the construction of mechanisms to protect this fundamental right is its understanding: on the one hand in its genuine aspect as an autonomous right, in the other hand, as a catalyst procedure in the realization of other economic, social and cultural rights as healt, education etc. As a result, the manner in which the public policies are being designed has been permeated by this new approach.

Keywords : Sport; physical training; physical activity; right to sport; economic cultural and social rights.
