Abstract
The concept of sustainability is usually linked with environmental issues. Accepting the
idea of the body as an inner environment, it is possible to outline a more sustainable approach to
sport didactics that doesnt jeopardise the youth’s later willingness for sports. The red thread
running through the theoretical references and didactic examples is a way of teaching that
privileges communicative to functional/thermo dynamical aspects. The sustainable didactics is
the synthesis of several methodological approaches developed in the in the field of Sport for All.
Keywords: sustainability, didactics, sports for all
