Ekkart Arbeit (* 1941 ) is a German sports scientist and athletics trainer .

Life

Work studied at the German University for Physical Culture (DHfK) in Leipzig . In his diploma thesis, accepted in 1965, he worked on the topic "The basics of electromyography and the dependence of the EMG global effect on the magnitude of external moments of force". In 1971 he completed his doctoral thesis at the DHfK (title: “Biomechanical Analysis of the Technique of Javelin Throwing”). Work was one of the authors of the 1974 book “Biomechanics of Sports Movements”.

From 1982 to 1988 work at the Athletics Association of the German Democratic Republic was the head trainer for the throwing disciplines. From 1989 to February 1990 he was the head coach of the GDR Athletics Association. Compared to the Swiss magazine Sport in 1989, he did not consider “medical armament” to be the “future of athletics, but rather in research into the human head, in research into its nervous system and metabolism”.

In 1989 he published the article “Trends in developments in men's javelin throwing after three years of using the new in the magazine Der Leichtathlet . Analyzes, trends and statements ”.

After the end of the GDR, he worked as a track and field trainer and consultant, initially in Italy, Greece and Israel. In the mid-1990s he was a fitness advisor for the West Hartlepool Rugby Union Club in Great Britain for several weeks . In addition, in 1996 and 1998 he published articles on javelin throwing and training courses in the journal IAAF new studies in athletics .

In September 1997, Arbeit agreed with the Australian Athletics Federation on a four-year contract as head coach. 130 athletes publicly expressed their unwillingness to cooperate with work, Australian newspapers called for the German to be abandoned. The Australian Parliament also dealt with Ekkart's work. In November 2007, Andrew Thompson, Australia's Minister for Sport and Tourism, stated that there had been no contract between the Australian Athletics Federation and Labor. On November 20, 1997, Thompson spoke of an "affair involving Dr. Ekkart Arbeit ”and stressed that“ in order to protect the country's reputation in matters of sport and drug-free sport ”, no tax money would be used to pay off work. Arbeit denied allegations that he was involved in doping substance abuse in sport. According to the internet sports service insidethegames.biz , work denies ever having personally given doping agents to athletes. The then Australian government under Prime Minister John Howard ultimately blocked employment as the head coach of the athletics federation.

By Manfred Hoeppner , the former deputy head of the sports medicine department of the GDR, work has been accused of promoting doping practices. According to Der Spiegel and the molecular biologist and anti-doping fighter Werner Franke , who refer to documents from the GDR Ministry for State Security , work in the GDR under the code name "Klaus Tisch" is supposed to produce reports on doctors, trainers and athletes for the MfS to have. The documents also contain doping protocols from athletes who were supervised by work.

In 2002 Arbeit received the offer to act as chief advisor to the South African Athletics Association, but after critical reports against him in the South African media, the German withdrew from the offer in July 2002.

He worked with British heptathlete Denise Lewis in preparation for the 2004 Summer Olympics  . In 2003, Arbeit admitted to the English magazine The Telegraph that he had been part of the state-controlled doping system in the GDR in the 1980s, which he regrets and for which he is not looking for an excuse. Arbeit also stressed having had a strong anti-doping stance since 1989 and working within the framework of the IAAF Code of Ethics .

In 2006, work was then hired by the South African Athletics Federation as a consultant to prepare the country's track and field team for the 2008 Olympic Games , which only became known to the public in June 2007. The chairman of the South African Athletics Association emphasized that work had not been condemned in Germany and that it was more a matter of allegations than facts. In September 2010, the newspaper The Citizen accused Arbeit of having instructed the team doctor to treat a South African sprinter with Actovegin, which WADA had classified as suspicious but was not on the doping list. The newspaper was referring to a forensic report.

Later, Arbeit took over the discus throwing training for his grandson Jakob Arbeit.
