The Department of Sport and Health cooperates successfully in the field of research and teaching with institutions from the health market and competitive sports. There are numerous collaborations with institutions such as clinics and therapy centres as well as with sports persons, clubs and associations from national and international high-performance sport. On the one hand, the cooperation agreements allow practice-oriented teaching for the students (e.g. in the orthopaedic biomechanics lab of a rehabilitation clinic) and, on the other hand, application-oriented research (in the area of the German football league).
