Last week, the conference of the Austrian Sport Science Community (Österreichische Sportwissenschaftliche Gesellschaft, ÖSG) took place in Innsbruck. In three days, many very interesting and inspiring talks were held in various topics in the field of sport science including biomechanics, motor control, training science, nutrition or the use of movement analysis in the field.

Paul Kaufmann and Willi Koller of the Neuromechanics Research Group attended the conference and gave oral presentations in the Young Investigator Award Sessions. Both received very positive feedback on their talks and were involved in enriching discussions throughout the conference. Willi Koller convinced the jury with his talk and subsequent discussion, earning him the Young Investigator Award!

Both abstracts are published open access and can be read here:
