Abstract: Based on the practical need to construct wholeness and uniqueness of sports knowledge, the special value of embodied philosophy for the construction of sports knowledge system is clarified on the basis of the genealogy of the development of embodied philosophy and the three-dimensional structure. The embodied philosophy updates and expands the connotation of knowledge. It incorporates individuality, locality, and all developmental cognition into the category of knowledge with its monism,which promotes the integration of sports skills, physical fitness, and sports theory knowledge into the wholeness knowledge, and further promotes the development of sports from the research objects of other disciplines and the tools for promoting health to holistic and structured knowledge. Movement is the foundation of all embodied knowledge, and sport is the best way of movement.Compared with disembodied subjects, the special vocabulary of sports knowledge allows people to return to the scene of the physical experience of sports; compared with other technical subjects, knowledge of physical fitness has unique characteristics as a new type of knowledge; sports creates high-level knowledge type of physical literacy, which is completely embodied knowledge and developmental knowledge. Under the promotion of embodied cognition, the knowledge characteristics of sports provide the possibility for sports to become a new unitary cognitive science and a unique holistic pedagogy.
