Research Activities at the Faculty
|
|
In line with its work focusing on various aspects of movement, games and physical
activity (including leisure sports, health-related sports, rehabilitation, physical evolution
and performance), in 1999 the Faculty of Sports Science was involved in a wide range
of research activities. These
concentrated in particular on the area of load adaptation and the effects of sports and
movement on biological, psychological and social functions
and processes.

Key Areas of Research
|
|
The key areas of sports research are as follows:
- Health-related, psychological and training-specific aspects of sport for
children
- Economic and social-scientific approaches in the administration of sport
- The development of a didactic/antinomic teaching method for sport at
schools
- The optimisation of competition and training systems in various sports
- The optimisation of processes in the development of sports-related schools in
Saxony
- Performance-physiological and biochemical diagnosis and treatment of
cardiovascular and orthopedic-traumatological diseases
- Elaboration, testing and optimisation of handicap-specific diagnostic methods
and evaluation procedures to monitor the efficiency of sport-based treatment and
rehabilitation programmes for the disabled and chronically ill (long-term
project)
- Movement behaviour of disabled persons - manifestations and adaptational
variations, and their relation to observed and measurable features
and learning processes
- The effects of sport-based treatment on physiological, motor-functional and
psychosocial parameters of patients with coronary diseases
- Scientific studies of movement coordination, movement learning and sports
techniques in various areas of sport.
- Diagnosis of the human walk/biomechanical research into motor variants of the
human walk depending on sex, age and selected 'clinical
pictures'
Ten projects are financially supported by the BISp (Federal Institute of Sports
Science) or the DFG (German Science Foundation).

Interdisciplinary Areas of Research
Various projects involved inter-faculty research within the University of Leipzig,
especially the various clinics of the Faculty of Medicine and the
Institute of Applied Psychology, as well as with the University's independent Medical
Psychology Department.
Research co-operation also exists with various external organisations such as the
Institute of Applied Athletics Training, the Chemnitz Institute of
Mechatronics, the Saxon Sports Association, individual sports clubs in Saxony and
elsewhere in Germany, and with Leipzig Sports School and the
headquarters of the German Red Cross.
