Summary
        Theoretical  and methodological issues, solving of which may give a new impulse to the  development of sport and sports achievements, are recently generated by newly  established centers for scientific and professional work in sports, like sport  science institutes, or institutes for applicative theory and methodology of  training. Anthropological and methodological scientific investigation within  the framework of the centers should solve issues put forward by sport practice,  and vice versa, findings and inferences of scientific research into sport  should be as quickly as possible built into actual sport practice. It is the  only way in which the gap between science and practice can really be bridged  over, or in which these two areas can be associated to benefit top-level sports  achievements.

        Key words:research,  didactic research, professional work in sports.
