Sumario:In recent years a special interest in developing a theory of knowledge related to the teaching of sports has emerged. The comprehensive model of sport teaching or Teaching Games for Understanding Model and its variants have stood out. This focus is related to cognitive and constructivist theories of learning and to situated learning, and it is considered to be innovative in the teaching of sport. The objective of this work was to describe and analyse the basis on which the comprehensive teaching of sport is built, and, to achieve this, a systematic revision of the bibliography was carried out. Data indicated that the comprehensive focus is based, fundamentally, on premises related to the theories of cognitive, constructivist and situated learning. In this sense, some elements stand out. They make a reference to sport as teaching content (games modified, contextualized teaching, transfer of learning and technical-tactical teaching); to the student/player (learner/player-centred, existing knowledge and motivation); and to the teacher/coach (role of the teacher/coach, progressive teaching, problem-solving and questioning)
