Abstract
This study, situated within the field of Motor Praxeology, examines the educational and social impacts of five sociomotor activities—three Traditional Sports Games and two Sports—implemented in high schools in Switzerland and Italy. Employing the Semantic Differential as an analytical tool, the research evaluated participants' perceptions of their experiences during the proposed activities. The findings reveal a generally positive reception; however, traditional games emerged as more inclusive, fostering gender equity and overall well-being. In contrast, sports were found to be more divisive, often perpetuating and reinforcing gender stereotypes. These results are framed within the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, underscoring the potential of motor play to enhance awareness of social sustainability and contribute to addressing future global challenges.
