成熟的知識體系是一個學科先進性的重要標志,亦是一個學科持續發展的重要動力。對知識論體育哲學領域進行了考察,認為:"體育知識"不是人的身體在生理生化或運動訓練層面的操作性知識,而是在認識論哲學基礎上的"總體性知識",形成人對體育的整體認識。但當前的體育哲學領域多唯本體論馬首是瞻,遮蔽了知識論應有的發展路徑,遂產生"體育知識何以可能"之類的懷疑論觀點。知識論體育哲學利用認識論現代轉向的契機,采用身體現象學的方法對懷疑論者進行了強烈的批判,指出:身體是體育與知識之間的媒介,體育的具身化(embodiment)過程,就是體育知識的形成過程。在實踐中,我國的體育學通常機械地把"學科體系"與"知識體系"混為一談,多熱衷于對體育學科體系的勾勒,卻鮮有對體育知識的體系及其內在邏輯關系進行研究,這才造成了體育學科越建越多、越建越亂的窘相。

A mature knowledge system is an important sign of disciplinary advancedness, also an important driving force for the sustainable development of a discipline. The authors made a study of the epistemological sports philosophy area, and concluded that "sports knowledge" is not operational knowledge about the human body in terms of physiology and biochemistry or sports training, but "general knowledge" on the basis of epistemological philosophy, forming people’s overall understanding of sport. However, the sports philosophy area nowadays is dominated by ontology, which covers up the due development paths of ontology, thus produces skeptic opinions such as "how could sports knowledge be possible". Epistemological sports philosophy fiercely criticized the skeptics by utilizing the opportunity of modern transformation of ontology and using body phenomenological methods, and pointed out that the body is the medium between sport and knowledge, the process of sports embodiment is the process of formation of sports knowledge. In practice, Chinese physical education science usually mixes "disciplinary system" up with "knowledge system" mechanically, is often enthusiastic about describing the physical education disciplinary system, but seldom studies the sports knowledge system and its intrinsic logic relationship, which has caused such an embarrass situation as that more and more physical education disciplines are established and more and more chaotic they become.
