In our PROGRESS study, published in Frontiers in Aging, we are investigating an innovative prevention program for nursing homes. Using a cluster-randomized, controlled crossover design, we are examining the influence of behavioral and environmental prevention measures promoting physical activity on the physical activity and functional ability of residents. The goal is to establish everyday, sustainable exercise promotion in nursing facilities.
30th Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics – AB Movement Science
Dr. Rosemary Dubbeldam, Lena Kloock, and André Schwarze participated in the 30th Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics in Stockholm. As part of the event, they presented their research focuses in individual talks. The international conference also offered an excellent opportunity to discuss current developments in the field of biomechanics and to establish new scientific collaborations.
In the summer semester of 2025, students of the Bachelor's program Human Movement in Sports and Exercise had the unique opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge directly to sports practice. As part of the seminar "Physical Training in Elite Sports – Tailored Physical Training for Female Rugby Players," they worked closely with the Rugby Tourists Münster, a women’s rugby sevens team with one clear goal: qualifying for the German Championships in August.
On 23 July 2025, a diverse and colourful examination show took place in front of a sold-out audience of around 1000 guests and guests of honour.
Well over 100 active participants - cooperating clubs, university sports, the student council and the IfS working group on forces and students - put on a programme full of highlights and breathtaking show acts. A special highlight was the live broadcast by WDR directly from the show. Markus Jürgens gave us goosebumps with his world record attempt to run backwards on the treadmill for six hours.
The Department of Human Movement Science presented itself with a booth at the SchlauRaum science festival in Münster's city center. On the topic of “Bewegung, die Wissen schafft”, the team of doctoral students, project seminar students, and research assistants offered insights into the diverse research carried out by the work group. From psychomotor skills and kinematic movement analysis to sport in old age, everything was on offer for the mixed audience.
