Description
In the scientific theory of sport science four major
questions can be considered: (1) What is the function of
science? (2) What is the body of knowledge of a scientific
field? (3) What is the appropriate research methodology? (4)
How are research results applied to the practical field?
This publication structures the body of knowledge of German
sportscience and focuses on the second question. Answers to
the other questions are given implicitly within the articles
relating to the specific subdisciplines of sport science.
