Motology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Motology is the study of the connection between exercise and psyche. It is a new, personality- and holistically-oriented science that emerged from psychomotor skills , the subject of which is human motor skills as a functional unit of perception, experience, thinking and action.

The focus of motology is the question of how holistic body and movement work can support people in their development and healing. It deals with all age groups: with children and adolescents, adults and the elderly. As an educational or therapeutic concept, it is represented in many institutions under the term psychomotor.

Course of study

The Motology course is offered as a master’s course at the Philipps University of Marburg . The minimum requirement is a completed BA degree. As a bachelor's degree, motology can be studied as part of an integrated course at the University of Emden / Leer.

Occupational fields

- Motologists work with people from all age groups, with and without disabilities, with individuals and groups.

- Motologists have a double qualification and are trained in an interdisciplinary manner. Accordingly, they are able to professionally fill a broad spectrum in educational, therapeutic, development-promoting, health-promoting and organizational advisory fields.

- Motologists work both employed and self-employed. Motologists are relatively often active in training, further education and training institutions. They practice practical work in child and youth welfare, in psychiatric and psychosomatic clinics for children and young people and for adults. Other professional fields are health centers, independent practices and schools.
