The study analyzes modern trends in sport science and effects of the relevant socio-cultural processes on the research in the physical education and sports sector, with an emphasis on the theoretical and practical groundwork for the modern integration processes in the sport science and the key practical problems that need to be solved to secure further progress of the sport science. Presently the situation in the sport science is dictated by the transition to the breakthrough research technologies driven by interdisciplinary research projects facilitated by the close and effective cooperation in a variety of research disciplines coordinated and driven by an umbrella (integrative) research theory. The active invasion of the modern breakthrough genetic/ neurobiological/ neuropsychological/ artificial intelligence technologies in the modern sport science facilitates contributions of the leading academic centers in the problem-specific sport research thrusts to reform the very design of the research system in the national sport sector. In the transitional period when the research paradigms are being changed, the decision-makers shall support new research thrusts, facilitate discussions and encourage research to lay sound theoretical and practical basics for the modern sport science, with the grant financing system being increasingly applied to renew the theoretical and practical toolkits of the sport science.
