Germany’s First Digital Motion Analysis in Paralympic Basketball
For the first time in Germany, a digitally supported motion analysis of a Paralympic national team is being conducted under the leadership of the University of Bayreuth: Prof. Dr. Franz Konstantin Fuss, Chairholder of Biomechanics at the University of Bayreuth, together with his former Master’s student Lena Bäumker – now a research associate – are equipping the wheelchairs of the men’s and women’s national basketball teams with sensors that provide insights into performance and training optimisation. The project is funded by the Federal Institute of Sport Science with over €130,000.
