Alfred Effenberg

Alfred Oliver Effenberg (* 1961 ) is a German sports scientist and university professor .

Life

Effenberg finished his studies at the University of Hamburg in 1991 . In his diploma thesis he dealt with the topic “Learning to move in sport ?: The sensorimotor learning process and the action character of sporting movements; an analysis of informal control and regulation processes of physical activity ”. He worked for several years at the Hamburg Olympic Training Center in the field of technology analysis, performance diagnostics and motor rehabilitation. In 1993 he made a research stay at the University of California, Los Angeles in the United States , where he worked under Richard A. Schmidt . In 1995 his doctoral thesis was accepted at the University of Hamburg, which was awarded first prize in the dissertation competition of the University of Hamburg that same year. Effenberg also won the Karl Hofmann publication competition in 1996.

From 1996 he worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Sport Science and Sport at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn , where he primarily dealt with topics of movement science, motor theory, audio-motor and multimodal perception and action contexts. In 2002 he completed his habilitation in Bonn (subject: "Synergies of the senses for movement regulation: Effects of multisensory convergences in the perception, assessment and execution of sports movements"). In 2007 Effenberg took up a professorship at the Leibnitz University in Hanover in the field of sport and exercise / training at the Institute for Sport Science.

His main research interests are in the fields of motor control, motor learning, movement perception, context of perception / action, movement sonification and multi-sensory integration.
