Abstract

Objective of the study is to identify the features of the methodological justification of the expert survey in interdisciplinary research. Methods and structure of the study. In the course of the research, a theoretical analysis of the scientific literature on the methodology of expert surveys and interdisciplinary research was carried out; systematization and generalization of requirements for the selection of experts, the construction of tools and the processing of results. The source base consists of more than 37 scientific papers. Results and conclusions. An expert survey in interdisciplinary research is a system-forming method capable of overcoming the "crisis of uncertainty" and high entropy with insufficient empirical data and unpredictable risks in the development of physical culture and sports. The methodological justification for the organization of the expert survey is based on the integration of approaches that combine the knowledge of scientists and practitioners from different fields into a single predictive model, which is an indispensable condition for the reliability of forecasting in the management of modern sports.

KEYWORDS
