In our societally extractive age, sport science risks being swept up in the intensifying desire to commodify the experiences of those that scientists proclaim to study. Coupled with the techno-digital revolution, this stems from a vertical (onto)logic that frames the sporting landscape as a static space filled with discrete objects waiting for us to capture, analyse, re-present and sell on as knowledge. Not only does this commodification degrade primary experience in the false hope of epistemological objectivity, it reinforces the unidirectionality of extractivism by setting inquirer apart from, and above of, inquiry. Here, we advocate for a different, more sentient logic grounded in the relationality of gifting as understood in indigenous philosophies. This foregrounds an ecological orientation to scholarship that sets out neither to objectify or describe that which is of concern, but to correspond with its becoming. On this, there are three threads we cast forward. First, in a corresponsive sport science, inhabitants are not objects of analysis, but lines in-becoming, who in answering to others, form knots in a meshwork. These knots constitute communal places in which inhabitants have joined with the differentiating coming-into-being of others. Second, knowledge is not authoritatively (re)cognitive, but humbly ecological; not produced vertically through imposition, but grown longitudinally in responsively moving from place to place. Third, research does not follow a vertically extractive (onto)logic, but is a practice of participant observation. This perspective appreciates that we, sport scientists, are also lines in-becoming that form parts of the knots in which we seek to know. In coda, our thesis is not a call for more qualitative or applied research in the sport sciences. It is a call to response-ably open up to that which sparks our curiosity, answering to what is shared with care, sensitivity and sincerity.

在我们这个社会榨取的时代，运动科学面临着被科学家声称要研究的人们的经验商品化的日益强烈的欲望所席卷的风险。与技术数字革命相结合，这源于一种垂直（本体）逻辑，该逻辑将体育景观视为一个静态空间，其中充满了离散的物体，等待我们捕捉、分析、再现并作为知识出售。这种商品化不仅在认识论客观性的错误希望中降低了原始经验，而且通过将探究者与探究分开并置于探究之上，强化了提取主义的单向性。在这里，我们提倡一种不同的、更有感知力的逻辑，其基础是本土哲学所理解的礼物的关系。这凸显了学术的生态取向，它既不客观化也不描述所关注的事物，而是与其生成相对应。对此，我们提出了三个线索。首先，在相应的运动科学中，居民不是分析的对象，而是正在生成的线，他们在回应他人的过程中在网状结构中形成结。这些结构成了公共场所，居民在其中与其他人的差异化形成结合在一起。其次，知识不是权威的（重新）认知的，而是谦逊的生态的；不是通过拼版垂直产生的，而是在响应性地从一个地方移动到另一个地方时纵向生长的。第三，研究并不遵循垂直提取（本体）逻辑，而是一种参与观察的实践。这种观点认识到，我们作为运动科学家，也是形成我们寻求了解的结的一部分的线。在尾声中，我们的论文并不是呼吁在运动科学领域进行更多定性或应用研究。它呼吁我们以开放的态度回应那些激发我们好奇心的事物，以谨慎、敏感和真诚的态度回应所分享的内容。
