Status quo of physical education and sport science

research: Critique and reflection
Hank Jwo
Department of Physical Education, National Taiwan Normal University

Abstract
Physical education and sport science, with physical activity as nature, is
considered as a cross-disciplinary and cross-professional field of study. The body of
knowledge constructed by disciplinary research has its uniqueness. This paper
delimited to physical education and sport science research in Taiwan. Research
projects in Physical Education Section, National Science Council and two major
academic journals were quantitatively analyzed. A positive current developmental
status of physical education and sport science was found. Some room for improvement
in published papers from Physical Education Journal and Sports and Exercise Research
were identified through application of critical thinking. Lastly, reflections were made
to the study of physical education and sport science, which included (1) While human
beings and physical activity are considered as essentials in scientific study, limitations
of personal knowledge and difficulty of absolute objectivity should be considered, (2)
Evidence-based approach and translational research are recommended, and (3) The
importance of observing research ethical guidelines.
Key words: physical activity, physical education, sport science, scientific research,
