Institute of Sport Science

Sports science is a rather young discipline, rapidly evolving and differentiating world-wide, also in Austria.
Currently, four professorships exist at the Institute of Sport Science (ISS) of the University of Vienna (sports/movement pedagogy, sports physiology, sports sociology, kinesiology with focus on biomechanics and applied computer science), while another one is in occupation (training science and kinesiology with focus on biology).
The ISS is the scientific organizational unit, dealing with natural scientific/medical, pedagogic/didactic and human as well as socio-scientific research topics and perspectives.
