The evidence for a reproducibility crisis in the sciences is overwhelming. Nevertheless, this crisis has not received sufficient attention in kinesiology. This must be remedied for kinesiology research is as vulnerable to the problems of the reproducibility crisis as any other discipline. The causes of this crisis include human, statistical and philosophical limitations intrinsic to the scientific enterprise. I have examined the human and statistical causes in previous work. As such, this paper focuses only on the philosophical causes of the crisis in hopes of spurring the discipline to action. The paper then closes by recommending that prominent organizations such as NAKHE, NAK and the AKA should lead the reform movement by; 1. funding reproducibility studies in kinesiology, 2. funding measures of statistical power across kinesiology, 3. urging journal reform, 4. initiating a call for a discipline-wide preregistration of research protocols in all areas of experimental research, 5. authoring a white paper which elaborates on the curricular reforms necessary to make the AKA's undergraduate core curriculum's, call to "critically evaluate information about physical activity from a scientific basis" (p. 292) a reality.
