In the Department of Movement and Exercise Science, our research focuses, amongst other things, on the link between perception and action in sport (Prof. Dr. Christian Vater, Head of Department), the relationship between sport and sleep (Prof. Dr. Daniel Erlacher), motor learning and movement control in dance (PD Dr. Andrea Schärli), and technologies for enhancing sporting performance (Dr. Ralf Kredel).
The “Motor Control” research group, led by PD Dr Stephan Zahno, is affiliated with the department, as is the EU MSCA project “TReND” on sensorimotor coordination in older people, led by Prof. em. Dr Ernst-Joachim Hossner, PD Dr Stephan Zahno and Dr Ralf Kredel.
