Life

After the Second World War , Schnabel completed his schooling at the Kreuzgymnasium in Dresden with the Abitur in 1947 . Between 1947 and 1951 he completed a degree in German, history and physical education at the University of Leipzig . From 1951 to 1954 Schnabel worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Physical Education at the Potsdam University of Education and then initially worked as an assistant, senior assistant, and then as a university lecturer at the German University of Physical Culture (DHfK) in Leipzig. From 1954 Schnabel was part of Kurt Meinel's staff and helped set up the Institute for Movement Studies. He then headed the institute from 1964 to 1969.

From 1969 Schnabel was employed at the DHfK as a university professor in the field of training theory, from 1973 to 1990 he was head of the field of "General Theory and Methodology of Training" at the university.

Schnabel's scientific work is considered fundamental in movement science , according to the assessment of the German Association for Sport Science (DVS) it has "significantly shaped the development in movement and training theory."

He made a decisive contribution to Meinel's book “Bewegungslehre” and was in charge of the authorship from the second edition. The work has appeared in several editions and is classified as a “classic of German sports science” and “as a practical scientific basis for teaching in the subject”.

From the 1970s onwards, Schnabel's scientific work focused on the topics of movement coordination, athletic performance and training, and his work in this area was subsequently classified as trend-setting. The book "Trainingslehre - Trainingswissenschaft", which Schnabel published together with Hans-Dietrich Harre and Jürgen Krug in several editions, is counted among the standard works in this subject.

From 1988 he focused his scientific work on the field of movement coordination training. In 1992 Schnabel retired.
