The Chair of Human Movement Science was represented with three talks on the effects of repetitive heading on cognitive and sensorimotor performance (Jan Kern), Yips in Golf Novices (Klaus Haggenmüller) and the influence of acute endurance exercise on motor learning (Veit Kraft). With over 700 talks and more than 1000 poster presentations across three days, the congress in the French capital offered exciting insights into the broad field of sports science research and provided room for vivid discussions about current and future projects.
