MISSION STATEMENT
Building Bridges: Basic Research - Elite-Sports - Prevention
The Associate Professorship of Biomechanics in Sports bothers, on the one hand, biomechanical questions in (competitive) sports that are application-oriented, as well as in medical fields of prevention and rehabilitation sports or ergonomics. On the other hand, there’s a further focus on fundamental research on muscle mechanics and muscular strength, together with the development and conception of performance diagnostics.
The lectures’ and tutorials’ contents range from the basics of biomechanics up to biomechanical diagnosis in different fields of application to muscle mechanics and mathematical modeling of muscle and movement stimulation. At that point, we set a tremendous didactical value upon imparting established theoretical knowledge and implementable skills.
Furthermore there’s an official cooperation agreement with the “Olympiastützpunkt Bayern (OSP)” which ensures a tight interlocking between science and competitive sport. In this particular, the professorship conducts sports performance diagnostics as scientific advice. Besides, the national teams of cross-country skiing and ski-jumping of the German Ski Federation (DSV) are scientifically guided during their training.
