The Faculty of Sports Studies is not only an educational institution. We also emphasize research as scientific findings are essential for future development. Our research activities in the field of sports sciences focus on three core areas: aspects of dynamic and kinematic motion; biomedical aspects of exercise; and social science aspects of physical education and sport.
