Abstract: The study of disciplinary history can clarify the development of the discipline, which is the foundation of the basic theoretical study of the discipline. With the methods of literature research and logical analysis, this paper reinterprets the“theoretical history”of kinesiology based on the inherent construction course theory of the discipline, and discusses the construction course of the discipline, the evolution momentum of the discipline and the evolution of sub-discipline. Research shows: Kinesiology is a typical“artificial discipline”, the development of the discipline internal system lags behind the external system. The construction course of the discipline of kinesiology has gone through three stages:“problem research form”,“research field form”and“discipline category form”. The impetus to promote the evolution of sports science is dynamic, and different driving forces play different roles in different stages of discipline construction. The most primitive knowledge form of sports science is the practical knowledge which is represented by sports technology or sports skills, and then it develops into sports education science. Through the interdisciplinary integration, it gradually evolves into a comprehensive knowledge system containing many branches of disciplines.
