The authors made a study of the epistemological sports philosophy area, and con-cluded 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 phenomenol-ogical 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 sys-tem” up with “knowledge system” mechanically, is often enthusiastic about describing the physical education disciplinary sys-tem, 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.
