Here you can learn more about the teaching focus of the chair and the modules/areas in which university courses are offered by our staff. If you are interested in writing a thesis in the field of the professorship, you will also find a list of current thesis topics here.
Teaching Focus
University courses primarily focus on the development and refinement of coordination in whole-body and partial-body movements, as well as the methodological instruction of technically relevant movement sequences under specific conditions of each sport. Furthermore, the courses aim to promote understanding of movements within the triad of perceptual-cognitive processes, movement coordination and skill acquisition, and interpersonal coordination. The knowledge and movement experiences gained here also serve as prerequisites for developing and refining new techniques in other sports, as well as for general training purposes.

The planning phase for empirically oriented thesis work (including topic selection and, if necessary, submission of an ethics application) will take some time. Therefore, we recommend contacting us informally several months in advance. During this initial contact, you can also inquire about the supervision conditions for a thesis.
You can find instructions for working on a thesis in the right column under further information. If you have specific questions about study design or statistical analysis of your thesis at our professorship, please feel free to contact Dr. Damian Jeraj. He is also the point of contact if you would like to access our chair's internal literature database.
Current Thesis Topics
The following thematic areas for thesis work are currently available in the professorship:
- Aesthetic Perception of Dance Movements, Stage Formations, and Body Poses
- Auditory Perception in the Context of Evaluations in Artistic Gymnastics Movement
- Regulation Based on Auditory Perception in Trampoline Gymnastics
- Visual Perception in the Context of Error Detection in Artistic Gymnastics
- Influence of Visual Perspective on the Assessment of Different Elements in Artistic Gymnastics
- Influence of Visual Perspective on the Assessment of Combat Actions Movement Regulation of Complex Gymnastic Skills Based on Environmental Constraints
- Interpersonal Coordination in Martial Arts
- Key Stimuli of Different Attack and Defense Techniques in Martial Arts
- Strategic and Tactical Investigations in Martial Arts
If you are interested in working on one of the above topics or if you have your own ideas for a thesis, please contact Marisa Kempe initially. Your inquiry will then be forwarded internally to individuals who have a high degree of thematic alignment and available capacity for supervision.
