Sociology of physical culture and sports in a modern information society: problems and prospects

The essence of the scientific problem of the proposed material is that in the profile-applied sociology of FKiS, which is relatively isolated from the space of professional sociological research, traditional mechanisms for conducting CSI are not practiced with rare exceptions, and the task of mastering modern methods of sociological analysis (for example, social networks on the Internet) is not only not set, but so far not even realized. The relevance of the research topic lies in the need to focus the attention of the scientific community on the causes, essence and consequences of the growing lag in the theoretical sociology of FCiS, which is increasingly acquiring the character of modern mythology and ideologically determined utopia. The purpose of the study is to identify problems and assess the prospects for the scientific development of profile-applied sociology of physical culture and sports in the context of the achievements of world theoretical and empirical sociology and the challenges of the modern information society; — the scientific hypothesis was a reasonable assumption about the mythological and utopian nature of many key social ideas cultivated in the field of sports science and practice, which do not pass the test of reliability as a result of a particular CSI. Conclusions: based on the content presented below, the following conclusions can be drawn: as real steps of merging or integrating sociology and applied sociology of FCiS, the establishment of a domestic association of sociology of FCiS, a specialized applied research institute (or center) of specific sociological research in the field of FCiS, a scientific journal on sociology of FCiS should be recommended.
