We are celebrating 100 years - with our own anniversary collection!
From 1 April to 11 April 2025 only, you can order locally printed, high-quality T-shirts, hoodies and jute bags at fair prices from the student council's online shop. The surplus will go to the Münster-based Sportpaten project.
All important information can be found in the online shop and on the Instragram page of the Institute of Sport and Exercise Sciences.
In their sports studies, prospective teachers learn how to introduce children and young people to fitness and health topics in their later school life and convey the joy of exercise. In addition to sports science and pedagogical content, they acquire subject-specific didactic knowledge necessary to organize school sports effectively and meaningfully. How do they assess the importance of sports and exercise? Five sports students answer five questions.
The Institute of Sport Science has once again secured its position as one of the leading institutions in Germany. 44th worldwide and 4th in Germany in the Shanghai Ranking 2024 (ARWU) of "Faculty of Sports Science" category. This award marks the third consecutive year that the institute has defended this impressive position and underscores its continued excellence in research, teaching, and innovation in the field of sport science.
On February 18, a five-day "Fall Prediction" workshop at the Institute of Sports Science in Münster, Germany successfully concluded. Five professors from Incheon National University (INU) – Mr. Nyeonju Kang, Mr. Kyoungkyu Jeon, Mr. Jupil Ko, Mr. Moon-Hyon Hwang, and Mr. Namwoong Kim – as well as institute members Dr. Rosemary Dubbeldam, Mr. YuYuan Lee, and Mr. Zhao Liu participated.
The purpose of this workshop was to pool the participants' expertise, compare the backgrounds of falls in Korea and Germany, discuss the most advanced solutions for fall prediction, and identify potential innovations. This will form the basis for even closer collaboration between the participating institutions.
Prof. Heiko Wagner, Prof. Michael Brach, and Prof. Tim Hahn provided significant support for the project. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all participants and look forward to continuing this successful collaboration.
The Tech-Werkstatt Leistungssport, organized by the Institute of Sports Science and project partners, was a great success. Scientists and science enthusiasts from all over Germany were able to exchange ideas with each other and with numerous industry partners at the lunch-to-lunch event. The technology exhibition offered the opportunity to get to know the companies and their products better. In presentations, panel discussions and various workshops the potential applications of new technologies in competitive sport were reflected in greater depth through and by our guest speakers.
This year's citizen science project “Beweg dich schlau - Sportwissenschaft in der Schule” was a success. As part of our cooperation with the Hüberts'schen School in Hopsten, a 9th grade visited us in the movement lab to carry out an exemplary analysis of the standing long jump using the Qualisys program. Subject of the study was the influence of using the arms to create momentum on the jumping distance. The pupils tested both conditions and then evaluated first results together with the students. In this way, they were able to get to know the roles of both the test subjects and the scientists. The project was carried out by prospective PE teachers as part of the Development and Health project seminar and supervised by Tabea Christ.
The „Tech-Werkstatt Leistungssport“ , which is organised by the Institute of Sports Science, is getting closer. The programme can be accessed here: Programme Registration is possible under the following link:Registration
