From 11 to 13 September 2024, the 15th symposium of the dvs section Sports Informatics & Sports Technology took place at the Technical University of Dortmund. We are delighted that we were able to take part in this event and thus had the opportunity to exchange ideas with other experts from science and practice about current developments in the field of sports informatics and sports technology.
Prof Senner gave a keynote speech on the topic of ‘Sports Engineered’. He highlighted the latest R&D trends in the field of sports technologies and sports materials.
Melanie Baldinger presented her research findings on the topic of Qigong as part of the poster session.
In addition to the scientific lectures and presentations, the symposium also offered the opportunity for practical application of the technologies presented. A practical workshop focused on the application of various technologies in hurdling. The workshop impressively demonstrated how theoretical approaches from the field of sports technologies and informatics can be directly applied in practice and how sports science research can contribute to improving the technique and performance of athletes.
We can look back on an exciting symposium that was characterised not only by high-calibre presentations, but also by stimulating discussions and networking opportunities. Taking part in the dvs Symposium on Sports Informatics & Sports Technology was a great opportunity for us, and we look forward to contributing to further development in this area and exchanging ideas in the future.
