Dear students,

Welcome back to Saarland University for the summer term 2024.

Please make sure that you did participate in the seminar "Athletes' musculoskeletal assessment" (mandatory) before enrolling in this seminar.

This seminar usually takes place Friday 8.15-9.45 am. The seminar consists of theoretical as well as of practical sessions. Be prepared to wear (or at least bring) sports clothing to ALL sessions.  Every one of you are required to bring sports clothing not only a few of you.

Please note that there is going to be a day excursion to the LIHPS (Luxembourg Institute for High Performance in Sports, Sportfabrik Luxemburg) in Differdange. The date is to be confirmed once we know how many students have enrolled in the course although will be announce in advance. Please note that only students who regularly attend this course will be able to be part of this trip as we will prepare the session beforehand.

Due to the day trip some of the Friday seminars will not take place for compensatory reasons. Some of those weeks might be covered by (more extensive) homework.

Exam:
The exam for this module will be combined with your examination for the module I3011 Athletes’ musculoskeletal assessment. It will be a 60-minute written test. The format will be open questions.

Kind regards,
Benedict Gondwe

For this course, we will meet the first time on November 2nd. Those ones of you who cannot be in Saarbrücken at that time will be able to participate online (via Teams). Please, indicate to me via e-mail (tim.meyer@mx.uni-saarland.de) if you can attend or not. During this first session we will distribute topics for the remaining semester. Your task will be to prepare one of these topics as an educational session for your co-students. It is mandatory to include at least 2 seminal studies for this topic into your presentation. They should be described in detail and their relevance explained. The presentation will be rated and counts for 60% of the final grade. Until the end of February, it is your second task to write a 5 page textbook summary for your topic which then counts for 40% of the final grade.

As soon as I have an overview of the potential number of participants I will outline a list with topics and dates for which you have to indicate your 1st, 2nd and 3rd preference.
