Action inductions by the visual perception of movement in sports

In sports action situations, we visually perceive a variety of motion information. This information consists of spatial features such as positions and running paths of teammates and opponents in sports games, trajectories of balls, attacking and defending actions of the opponent in martial arts, etc....

Additive effects of strength and balance training - comparison of three fall prevention interventions with seniors.

A large number of epidemiological studies show that the frequency of falls increases significantly with advancing age. Almost ¼ of those over 65 fall at least once a year. Among those over 75, the frequency increases to over 40% (Granacher, Gruber & Gollhofer, 2009).

Implicit movement learning

Project Management: Claudia Classen & Prof. Dr. Armin Kibele


In the present project the question is investigated whether movement learning can be understood as a special case of implicit learning. Based on different research approaches in movement science, in which implicit learning processes are referred to again and again, an integrative theory of (implicit) movement learning was developed, which includes components of the traditional program theories as well as aspects of the newer action theories and, as a completely new element, establishes a content-related proximity to implicit learning.

Relay change strategies in top swimmers

Project management: Prof. Dr. Armin Kibele, Sebastian Fischer

There are only a few empirical studies on relay changes in swimming in the literature. Most of them focus on questions concerning the motion sequence of the relay start technique.
