Core Disciplines of Kinesiology in China:Concept Clarification,Identification and Selection,Characteristic Summarization,and Construction Strategies
Identifying the core disciplines within Kinesiology in China is a pivotal step in constructing a discipline system with Chinese characteristics,holding significant theoretical and practical importance for solidifying the foun-dations of Kinesiology and fostering discipline confidence.Employing research methods such as literature review,Delphi method,and logical analysis,this paper conducts a comprehensive study of the core disciplines of Kinesiolo-gy in China from four perspectives:concept clarification,identification and selection,characteristic summarization,and construction strategies.The research defines the core disciplines of Kinesiology as those occupying a central role among all its branches.By establishing a framework for identification,screening,evaluation,and confirmation,the study identifies sports physiology,sports training,sports pedagogy,introduction to sports science,sports history,sports sociology,and sports anatomy as the current core disciplines of Kinesiology in China.It further summarizes six key characteristics of these core disciplines through theoretical,historical,and practical lenses.The research emphasizes that the construction of core disciplines in Kinesiology should prioritize theoretical research to accelerate the development of an independent knowledge system within China's Kinesiology,emphasize the functional roles of these disciplines to enhance their educational value,and adhere to a practice-oriented approach to propel the high-quality development of the core disciplines.
