O reconhecimento das Ciências do Movimento Humano (CMH) como uma disciplina STEM (Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática) representa um passo estratégico rumo à consolidação científica e tecnológica do profissional de CMH na Costa Rica. Este artigo analisa a estrutura curricular, metodológica e epistemológica das CMH para validar seu alinhamento com os critérios STEM estabelecidos por organizações internacionais como a UNESCO. Com base no estudo dos programas universitários da Costa Rica e em referências internacionais, fica evidente que o CMH integra fundamentos de biologia, física, matemática e engenharia aplicada, utilizando ferramentas tecnológicas avançadas, análise de dados e análises complexas de sistemas biológicos. Da mesma forma, o conceito de "engenharia do corpo humano" é proposto como o articulador dos quatro eixos STEM nas CMH. Estão previstas ações futuras para fortalecer seu reconhecimento formal, a harmonização curricular, a promoção da pesquisa interdisciplinar, o desenvolvimento tecnológico, a formação de professores e a gestão política da universidade. Não considerar as CMH como uma disciplina STEM implica perpetuar uma visão reducionista que ignora o papel dessa disciplina como uma ponte entre ciência, tecnologia, análise de dados, esporte e saúde. Por fim, conclui-se que as CMH integram um modelo interdisciplinar de ciência aplicada com alto potencial para promover a inovação, o letramento científico e a sustentabilidade do conhecimento em saúde e esporte.
