Abstract

The article presents information about coexistence of scientists and philosophers in physical education related to research on human movement. The researcher Thomson embraces the scientific and philosophical approaches in understanding the human movement in physical education. He says that scientific research is more focused on getting into a meaningful act. He says meaning and structure could be possible in sport activities where more than one skills are involved. He argues that despite of claiming integration of mind and body in skills and experience, the traditional researchers have divided the major courses in twp parts. The first one is theory and the other one is skills. The article author says that the scientific and philosophic theories don't require the students to perform sporting and dance movements. The author says that students and teacher would not have any on common ground either in the humanities or sciences without the experimental vocabulary and movement skills. The author says that there could be a legitimate arguments against those philosophers who include scientific research in their physical educational theories.
