1, topic selection. This is the first step in scientific research. In this process, researchers mainly use the methods of literature, logical thinking and systematic methods to put forward unsolved scientific problems in their own research direction, select topics and demonstrate them, then put forward assumptions, determine the organizational form of research work, master the necessary research tools and methods, and draw up research plans.
2. Put forward the research hypothesis. The so-called research hypothesis refers to the inferential judgment and hypothetical explanation made by researchers on the causality and regularity of sports science research based on factual materials and certain scientific theories, starting from their own knowledge, experience and creativity before conducting research.
The research hypothesis should meet the following conditions: it can reasonably explain the facts and phenomena that can be explained by the original theory; Can explain the new discoveries that the original theory can't explain; It can clearly predict new facts that have not yet been discovered, which makes it possible to further test the hypothesis.
3. Research and design. It is to formulate the implementation plan of the research around the topic selection. Its content is to think and design the methods (or main methods), research samples, indicators, tools and instruments used in the research in detail, and to plan and arrange the work sequence, funds and personnel in advance.
4. Collect information. Generally, literature, investigation, observation, measurement and experiment are used to obtain the literature information and new empirical facts needed in the research.
5. Organize and analyze data. It is the process of classifying, sorting and processing the data obtained by means of experimental observation, investigation and interview, statistics and literature review, and it is the only link and intermediate bridge to reach scientific theory. At this stage, many tools and methods are used, generally including theoretical tools, thinking tools, mathematical tools and material and technical means.
6. Write research reports or papers. Research reports and papers should be written according to specific format requirements, with clear themes, rigorous structure, distinct levels, seeking truth from facts, fluent language and accurate words.
7. Publication of scientific research results. In general, scientific research results can be published in academic conferences, newspapers and magazines in the form of reports or papers, or in the form of monographs.
Specific tasks of sports science research:
1. Solve the new problems faced by sports practice, explore the essence and development law of this problem, create new theories and methods, and further enrich and improve the sports science system.
2. Macroscopically study the process and law of the emergence and development of sports, as well as the relationship and law of the coordinated development of sports and society, so as to provide decision-making basis for sports management institutions.
3. Study the function and mechanism of various sports means (sports) to improve human health, and provide theoretical basis and practical methods for enhancing people's physique.
4. Study the ways and methods to improve the competitive ability of athletes in various sports. In order to fully understand and control the process of sports training and competition, and improve the scientific level of sports training and competition.
5. Study the position and function of physical education in the implementation of children's quality education, explore the effective means and methods of implementing basic physical education and professional physical education, and improve the quality and effect of physical education teaching.
6. To study the influence and function of the social value of sports on people's thinking, behavior and lifestyle.
