Under such a background, the authors put for-ward the following opinions based on analyzing two opposite views on human sports limits: physiological limits are the theoretical foundation for the human sports limits being limited theory; the time nature of social factors is the theoretical foundation for the human sports limits being unlimited theory; external forces of nature are incidental factors that restrict sports limits, and the discussion about human sports limits is actually meaningful only on the ba-sis of that external forces of nature are maximum; the measurement uncertainty principle has decided the limitation of people’s prediction of human sports limits by using numerical methods; human sports limits are the unification of their limited and unlimited natures.
Key words: sports limit；social factor；external force of nature；measurement uncertainty principle |
