Sports Science I

first cycle, Bachelor

The students know about the historical development of exercise culture and sport and they develop a fundamental understanding of the phenomenon of sport and its differentiation. They know the structures and processes of sport in modern society. They can understand and explain fundamental concepts and theories (and the corresponding empirical findings) of sports history, sports sociology and sports psychology and reflect on them against the background of a later career in the field of sport. They develop an understanding for the connection of the disciplines among themselves and to other disciplines of sports science as well as to cultural and economic disciplines. They are enabled to work on interdisciplinary tasks or questions and to present solutions.
