The Norbert Elias’s social theory was offer very important contributes for the modern social reflection, considering aspects before unseen like manners and others specifics protocols of each society, extending the compress of social happen to multiples dimensions of social interaction like group sports, therefore showing the transformations across the time which show the changes that over time such practices have become paradigmatic changes in modern Western societies. In this paper, we analyze some individual sports, -the fitness and running-, which also manifest the process of civilization, from the internalization of specific configurations and concepts such as time management, body image, the idea of progress, etc., which will have a higher incidence of the stamp of the individuality of such sports.
