Axel Binnenbruck’s new handball textbook is aimed at athletes, coaches and trainers. It combines theoretical insights into the sport of handball with practical recommendations for training and competition. This Praxisbuch für Studium, Training und Freizeitsport takes readers through all the phases of a handball training session, emphasising the importance of teaching methods that closely resemble actual gameplay.
“Women Into Science” is an event organized by the Equal Opportunity Commission, taking place on May 11 from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. The goal is to raise the profile of women in science and showcase a variety of career paths. Female scientists will share their personal career stories, offer insights into their daily work lives, and discuss the experiences, challenges, and opportunities they have encountered on their journey into science.
On May 27, 2026, at 6 p.m., we will host an online transfer workshop to mark the conclusion of the project.
Together with Olympic soccer champion and TV expert Tabea Kemme, Mareike Miller (Paralympic wheelchair basketball champion and member of the executive board of Athleten Deutschland e.V. and the German Olympic Sports Confederation), and Dr. Kristin Behrens (board member of the German Athletics Association), we will discuss the possibilities and limitations of political activism in sports in Germany. We will also present our key research findings.
The workshop is open to the public! Please register: REGISTRATION
We were thrilled to welcome Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim and the TerraX team back to our OpenLab! This time, it was all about the follow-up: After several weeks of dance training, we repeated the measurements to see what had changed.
The department of Neuromotor Behavior and Exercise has been awarded €4,500 by the Universitätsgesellschaft Münster in support of its Training Lab project, an initiative that brings sports science expertise to recreational sports clubs across the city. The Training Lab is designed to support niche and traditionally under-resourced recreational sports in Münster by connecting them with academic sports science.
Once again this year, 15 keen young women found their way to our institute to take part in Girls’ Day. They gained fascinating insights into sports science research, got to know the campus, and, of course, there was plenty of time to ask lots of questions about university life.
The book examines the diverse demands placed on school sport and explores how the educational objectives of physical education can be achieved. To understand how sport in a school setting can contribute to pupils’ cognitive, emotional and social development, and what conditions need to be taken into account, the book draws on perspectives from sports pedagogy, sports psychology and other disciplines.
The Neuromotorics & Training Department is looking for students (preferably in their 2nd or 4th semester—all majors) who are willing to participate in a whitewater course and take on small, manageable research projects there (e.g., administering questionnaires, load monitoring…).
