During their studies, sports students have to perform not only cognitively but also in terms of sports motor skills, for which certain physical prerequisites are necessary not only for their own realisation but also for the prevention of sports injuries. This project will examine the extent to which these prerequisites are available to prevent injuries that could prolong study time or can be supported by additional exercise and training programmes. In the long term, it is hoped that this will contribute to the continuous improvement of study quality in sports studies.
One part of the project is preventive diagnostics for sports students during the orientation week. The sports students are given the opportunity to have their potential risk of injury assessed as part of a preventive screening right at the beginning of their studies. Various tests are used to examine possible risk factors for knee, ankle, shoulder or back injuries and to classify the student's potential risk of injury.
