Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to build a new discipline of "Somatologie".For that purpose, I put "Phanomenologie" as a basic theory and positioned "Bewegungslehre des Sports" as applied theory.As a principle of physics, I studied the fundamental problem of how the body "becomes" (Werden) ".In parallel with that, I also studied developing and maintaining the methodology of Somatologie. In this regard I adopted a qualitative research method. It describes, for example, the feeling of the body and movement that man feel in doing various sports and martial arts, and collects it as data.Through studies of these theory and methodology, I was able to form the framework of Somatologie.
