Exercise and Health in youth

Dr. Cocca’s research focuses on understanding the intertwined association between social, psychological, and physical factors, and how they interact with active behaviors in youth. Additionally, he carries out school-based programs aiming at increasing youth’s health both within PE and through comprehensive in-school physical activity, which also incorporates analysis and intervention on PE teaching-learning quality and teachers’ competency. Among the most studied variables, Dr. Cocca’s research centers on physical fitness, PA levels/intensity, lipid profile, psychological wellbeing, or environmental barriers to being active.

Within different sports many descriptive terms, such as “keep rolling” while running, “pedal round” in cycling or “let the skis run”, evolved over time to express an effective execution. However, how this is done, how we move and what mechanisms we use, often remains uncertain and depends on a high number of influence factors. The movement strategies, that the human body in line with the neuromuscular system develops and adapts, can also be called technique, which is Daniel’s main research interest.

Particularly, methods and concepts to translate the subjective movement descriptions into quantitative and comparable measures, e.g. by analysing movement components of instructed technique guidelines, is one focus area. From a mechanical and software background this also includes research about motion capture systems and further development of the PManalyzer.

My research focuses on human movement and on the sensorimotor control of human movement. Research questions that interest me are, for example, how can movements objectively be compared between individuals? How are segment movements coordinated? How is movement controlled; and how can qualitative differences in movement control be objectively be quantified?

My research focuses on human locomotion (i.e., gait and running), movement analysis and motor control. I am also interested in the validity and reliability of new software and devices for movement analysis both in the lab and in the field. I have ongoing projects on Running with Power that aim to assess the validity and reliability of power-related metrics to quantify training load in order to prescribe training and racing accurately. Research questions that interest me are, for example, how can we relate running power zones to physiological landmarks? How do we deal with small movements in order to maintain stability in both ordinary situations and during athletic tasks? Are these small movements, at least, as important as bigger movements?

Untersuchungen zu den Gesundheitswirkungen des Hatha-Yoga.
Zielsetzungen der Untersuchung
Viele öffentliche und private Einrichtungen bieten unterschiedliche Formen von Yoga-Kursen an, um Gesundheit und Persönlichkeitswachstum zu fördern. Trotz der zunehmenden Bedeutung von Yoga in unserem Kulturraum, wissen wir nur sehr wenig über die Anliegen, Erwartungen, gesundheitlichen Ziele und Motive von Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern derartiger Angebote. Mit der vorliegenden empirischen Untersuchung (n=316) wird die Bedeutung von Yoga aus der Sicht von Hatha-Yoga Übenden (leicht Fortgeschrittene bis Hatha-Yoga Lehrer; Männer und Frauen) erforscht.
Deutschsprachige Hatha-Yoga Übende (Österreich, Deutschland) wurden bezüglich folgender Aspekte befragt:
Grundsätzliches Verständnis von Gesundheit/Krankheit;
Subjektive Einschätzung der Gesundheitswirkung auf sich selbst und andere;
Subjektive Wahrnehmungen während des Hatha-Yoga;
Bedeutung der Meditation und Einfluss auf Lebenshaltungen

Gesundheitliche Auswirkungen und Akzeptanz der Methode Feldenkrais bei Sportstudentinnen und Sportstudenten

Zielsetzungen der Untersuchung

• Effekte der Feldenkrais-Arbeit in Bezug auf den Alltag sowie auf ausgewählte motorische Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten
• Veränderung der Körperaufmerksamkeit
• Veränderung der Selbstaufmerksamkeit
• Veränderung der aktuellen und habituellen Befindlichkeit
• Einschätzung der Gesundheitswirkung

Werner Kirschner's publication list

Coming from a background of clinical health psychology I have started with studies in chronic pain and surgical patients.  In a further step, I engaged in quality of life research with chronically ill people. Some cooperations brought me to body image related research and my trainig in cognitive behavioural therapy drove me to a focus on exercise as an intervention, not only for improving health but also for psychological well-being and behaviour change. At the moment my research is focusing on acute exercise intervention, risk behaviour, prevention and self-regulation.

Elmar Kornexl's publication list

Cardiovascular and exercise physiology. 

Prof. Lawley's research interests explores how maintaining a physically active lifestyle benefits human health (exercise is medicine). Specifically, my group is interested in how starting and/or maintaining a new exercise regime, or lifelong committed exercise, benefits the function of blood vessels, the heart, and the brain.

Environmental physiology.

Prof. Lawley's group is also interested in several aspects of environmental physiology. For example: 1) identifying risks associated with travelling to, and exercising at, high altitude with preexisting medical conditions, 2) examining the pathophysiology of high altitude disorders (acute mountain sickness & high altitude cerebral edema), 3) exploring the interactive effects of hypoxia and cold environments on thermal balance and the risk of cold injury or hypothermia, 4) exploring the pathological impact of chronic mountain sickness, which is characterized by polycythemia. 5) Physiological impact of apnea diving including competition divers and spear-fishermen. 6) investigating the effect of deconditioning (space flight / bedrest) on blood vessel, heart and brain function and developing effective countermeasures, 7) Identifying the interaction of deconditioning and hypoxia as it relates to space flight extravehicular atmospheric conditions of 8.2 psia and 34% O2.

Whole-body movement coordination and variability during athletic tasks

Each movement that we perform is unique in the sense that this exact movement will never happen again. We are studying this variability in whole-body movement coordination during athletic tasks and are interested in the question whether the amount and structure of variability may be related to an ahtlete’s risk of injury.

Muscle activation and knee joint stability

The muscles surrounding the knee are the main contributor to the loading and stability of the joint. Here we are interested in the muscle activation patterns that athletes use (or should use) to protect their knees from initial or recurring injury.

My research focuses mainly on epidemiology / injury prevention in alpine and combat sports. Specifically, I am interested in determining how often injuries occur in different sports and which factors could have an influence on these events. Further research would focus attention on understanding the supposed injury mechanisms involved in order to introduce preventive measures, that would be evaluated. The final aim of my research is to make sport safer.

On the other hand, I am also fascinated by other fields of sports science and sports medicine, such as training science, applied sports physiology incl. high altitude physiology, and, last but not least, understanding how prevention of violence could be achieved through participants’ attendance of courses in the field of self-defence and self-assertion.

Safety aspects in skiing, e.g. jumps in downhill skiing and in terrain parks;  three-dimensional finite element model for simulation of the skier-flex pole impact to reduce the injury risk and improve fairness in slalom races; development of a standardized laboratory test to evaluate the excavation effectiveness of avalanche shovels.

Friction of skis on snow, the friction is influenced by a variety of factors, e.g. speed, contact area, snow type (temperature, liquid water content, hardness, texture) and ski properties (stiffness, thermal conductivity, base material, base roughness. With our developed new linear tribometer we analyzed meltwater production due to frictional heating depends on the contact area between ski and snow and quantity of quasi liquid water; effect of roughness on the friction between steel and snow and friction of ski garment to improve safety.

Lydia’s primary research interest is how the autonomic nervous system controls cardiovascular function, specifically the control of blood pressure by the arterial baroreflex mechanism. Lydia is interested in how arterial baroreflex function is altered during chronic hypoxic exposure, and its interation with other neural reflexes, including those originating from the peripheral oxygen sensors and pressure sensitive receptors in the pulmonary arteries. Lydia is also interested in the influence of sex on the regulation of blood pressure at high altitude, in both Lowland and highland natives.

Digitalization in Sport

The ongoing development of new and innovative technological solutions does offer advanced ways of performing, evaluating and experiencing sport. My research focus lies on digital phenomena like e-sport and the questions, if and how physical activity can be integrated in such digital environments. Moreover, innovations in sport due to e.g. virtual or augmented reality are on a rise, offering possibilities to use gamification aspects for hobby as well as elite athletes. To evaluate such innovations and their impact on movement, is also part of my research focus. In general, the effect of digital and technological inventions on movement behavior opens up a lot of research questions I'm interested in. 

Motor Control & Human Movement Science

How the human body adapts motor control in different situations is another research field I'm interested in. Underlying mechanisms are still topic to debate and new methodological approaches offer new insights in how we as human beings alter consciously or unconsciously our behavior during different situations, e.g. while performing dual-task or after disturbance of the postural control system. Variability and human movement are connected due to the vast amount of possible degrees of freedom in our movements. Although this is no new finding, research keeps exploring this field of research and still reveals new insights and mechanisms. I’m interested in applying new methods to these known questions and try to help deepen the understanding of ongoing mechanisms.
