Can military sport be considered a part of Sports Law?
Saša Šegvić
Sažetak
Military history in its entirety is also the history of sport and physical training. As opposed to medieval and especially ancient times up to modern times, contemporary military sport seems to occupy a grey area. Under the social circumstances of professional sport which has become an extremely profitable activity and the changed the role of the military in the post-modernist period, the problem of the treatment of military sport and its wider social role has become a current issue. Thus, questions arise of whether modern sport in the military can be referred to as an organised, competitive activity which has its legal rules, and of whether military athletes can be considered as athletes who prepare themselves and participate in sport competitions and not as recreational athletes who do sport for fun in their spare time or at physical education classes. Such discussion in the end opens up fundamental issues, especially given that in the last decades, sports law has developed as a special branch of law. Can military sport be considered as a sporting competitive activity that it is regulated by the International Sports Federation within the International Olympic Committee and national legislation, and in particular, within the laws on sport? Can, within all the legal relations and consequently occurring legal rules, military sport be considered as a part of general or wider sports law, that is, as a branch of sports law?
