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
