I3013 Summer Term 2026 Injury mechanisms, screening, and prevention

Dear students,

welcome back to Saarland University for the summer term 2026.

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

This seminar usually takes place Fridays from 8:15 am to 9:45 am. The seminar consists of theoretical as well as 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. If there is preparatory work or homework requested it is much recommended to fulfill that request. It is in your own, best interest.  

Please note that there is a day excursion to the LIHPS (Luxembourg Institute for High Performance in Sports, Sportfabrik Luxemburg) in Differdange on June, 9th, which is a Tuesday. 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. There will be a preparatory session the week before which will last 2 hours (instead of 90 minutes). 

Due to the day trip some of the Friday seminars will not take place for compensatory reasons (April, 17th, May 15th), because of a bank holiday on May 1st and the Special Olympics that take place in Saarland County June 15-20. Some of those weeks might be covered by (more extensive) homework. 

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.

Best regards,
Karen aus der Fünten
