Although not as much as the history of mankind, the sport has been a concept that started with different purposes and later became a larger and more serious field of science and even the main focus of the world's largest organizations. The fact that countries today see sports as a criterion of superiority over each other has turned this field into a professional sector where competition has increased and especially developed countries have started to make significant investments to take place on the rostrum by showing all kinds of sacrifices and self-sacrifice for success. For success, not only a serious preparation and planning process is needed, but also a process that requires the coordinated use of different fields such as legislation, infrastructure, human resources and technology.

Since sport is a flexible and popular subject that requires cooperation with different fields and can be worked on jointly in every field, it also serves as a bridge to many subjects with different scientific perspectives. In recent years, especially in the world economy, as a field that has seen significant changes and developments on a sectoral basis, many publications and research are carried out in a wide range, and many scientists are striving to improve the quality of life of humanity with new ideas and new suggestions. The large investments made in our country in terms of facilities and infrastructure in recent years are seen as good signs that the importance of the sector is understood in Turkey together with the world.

I want to state that we are honored to present this study, which includes different perspectives on sports sciences, to you on the 100th anniversary of the foundation of our republic, and I would like to thank all the academicians who took part in the book with their contributions to the chapters.

Best regards...
