Hence, the author put forward that researchers should realize the body turning of researches on sports essence based on phenomenological methods, return to the primi-tive experience of the body, suspend objective thinking, associate sports meaning with body generation, and search the meaning of sports essence from the self presentation, self construction and self expression of the body.
Key words: sports principle；sports essence；body |
