On the basis of such argumentation, some US scholars put forward basic conceptions and methods for resolving such dilemmas; some US scholars probed into the evaluation of US in-stitutes of higher learning that use kinesiology as a designation in the sport discipline, and put forward methods for improvement. It is preliminarily concluded the change of designations in the sport discipline in the north America region is inseparably related to the interpretation of science by sport scholars in the north America region, i.e. kine-siology is closer to the original meaning of science – repeatability, which enables kinesiology to gradually become a general designation in the sport discipline in the north America region.
