Technology and the Body of Knowledge

Abstract

Technology and kinesiology are symbiotically linked. They have a mutually beneficial relationship. As technology advances, so does the quality of scientific research and information accessible in the field. As kinesiology progresses and gains academic acceptance and credibility, technology assumes a more central role in our field. The more scientific the subdiscipline, the more we can see technology at play. This change is altering the very nature of what we do and value in our field. An increasing predilection for knowledge that is based in science and measured and transmitted through technology affects how we understand and treat the foundations of our field. We have always been in “the body business” and have, through the ages and cultures, studied and taught human movement. Prevailing ideologies have profoundly affected the way we do business. This paper addresses how the ideology of technology impacts our current body of knowledge.
