COMPARISON OF EXERCISE AND SPORT SCIENCES EPISTEMOLOGY BETWEEN EUROPEAN RESEARCH COUNCIL STRUCTURE PANEL AND ITALIAN ACADEMIC SYSTEM

European Research Council Executive Agency, (ERCEA), has the mission to encourage the highest quality research in Europe trough competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all field, on the basis of scientific excellence. In 2019, European Research Council (ERC) updates the Panel Structure and confirms the 3 macro areas: SH Social Sciences and Humanities, PE Physical Sciences and Engineering, LS Life Sciences. Also in Italy, as well as in European Union countries, the academic disciplines in university system have progressively to update to align to the ERC. The alignment of Italian academic scientific disciplines of Exercise and sport sciences to ERC scheme has not been place yet because in Italy Physical training sciences and Sport sciences are contemporarily in pedagogy and medicine and, so, they are divided in physical, sport education in pedagogy and physical, sport training and health in medicine. Instead, in ERC scheme both of them have allocated in structure panel scheme in Social Sciences and Humanities (SH) and Life Sciences (LS). This situation makes a difference of the Italian academic system from others European Union (EU) countries academic system that follows the ERC scheme. The aim is explains why it exists for the rearrangement of physical education and sport sciences paradigm after the Second great war and developed to nowadays, determining this atypical model. Methods are the archive research with documental approach following the historical path. Exercise and sport sciences should be placed in one area in Italian academic system to have the correlation between Italian academic system and others EU countries and ERC scheme
