Thomas Milani (sports scientist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Lothar Milani (* 1958 in Singen (Hohentwiel) ) is a German sports scientist and university professor .

Life

Milani completed a degree in sports science and biology at the University of Konstanz , then from 1987 he worked as a research assistant in the biomechanics / kinetics department of the Institute for Sports and Movement Sciences at the University of Essen . In 1992 he completed his doctoral thesis at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , while he was in charge of the training science department in the sports teacher training program in Essen. In 1997 Milani completed his habilitation at the University of Essen.

After a stay abroad in Boulder from 1998 to 2000 (at the University of Colorado in the United States ), he worked again at the University of Essen, where he was a professor in the fields of training and movement science.

In April 2004, Milani initially took over the professorship in the field of movement science at the Technical University of Chemnitz , in September 2004 he was appointed professor for movement science at the Institute for Sports Science at the TU Chemnitz and took over the management of the institute. Milani was Vice Dean in Chemnitz from spring 2010 to spring 2013 and dean of the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences from spring 2013 to spring 2016.

The main research interests of his professorship are the areas of sensory systems, clinical biomechanics, sports technology and the characterization of biomechanical properties of connective and muscle tissue. In basic research, Milani examines the complex interplay of sensory and motor skills, both under clinical aspects and in a sports science context. The focus is on the influence of diseases (such as diabetes mellitus, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, obesity) on the static and dynamic movement behavior on the one hand and the changed sensory system on the other.

In application-oriented research, the development and analysis of sports shoes as well as the development of innovative measurement systems for movement research are the scientific focus of Milani. Based on the characterization of the mechanical properties of the shoe, the biomechanical and performance physiological effects of different construction methods are analyzed. In 2006 and 2007 Milani also headed projects to research the “optimization of the backward movement for volleyball attack” and in 2008 and 2009 a project on the subject of “Development of a measuring station for technology diagnostics in volleyball”.
