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…).

During the week of April 20th, the Institute of Sport Science will welcome Dr. Nurgül Keskin Akın from Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University (Turkey).

In addition to guest lectures in Bachelor’s and Master’s seminars, a colloquium for institute staff will be held. Interested parties are cordially invited to attend the sessions.
