Digitalisierung bereichert die sportwissenschaftliche Forschung

Wo wird der Gegner oder die Gegnerin einen Wurf platzieren oder wie erfolgreich ist mein Taktiktraining? Solche oder ähnliche Fragen versucht die Arbeitsgruppe von Markus Tilp am Institut für Sportwissenschaft zu beantworten. „Die Digitalisierung schreitet auch in der Sportwissenschaft voran und hilft mit, taktische Muster in Sportspielen mit Hilfe künstlicher neuronaler Netze zu erkennen“, erklärt Tilp.

Die in Zusammenarbeit mit der TU Graz eigens konzipierte Software MASA („Motion and Action Sequence Analysis“) nutzen die ForscherInnen, um exakte Positionsdaten und Informationen über das SpielerInnenverhalten zu generieren. Anschließend werden die Daten mithilfe von künstlichen neuronalen Netzen untersucht. So gelingt es den SportwissenschafterInnen zum Beispiel, Offensiv- und Defensivverhalten im Handball zu analysieren und sogar die wahrscheinlichsten Wurfpositionen vorherzusagen. „Auch den Erfolg eines Taktiktrainings konnten wir anhand der künstlichen neuronalen Netze evaluieren“, so Tilp. Die SpielerInnen-Positionsdaten wurden dafür ins neuronale Netz eingespeist und mit den eintrainierten Mustern verglichen. Das Netz konnte dabei objektiv zeigen, dass 58 Prozent aller Angriffe mit den im Vorfeld eintrainierten übereinstimmen.

Diese Forschungsergebnisse wurden kürzlich an der Universität Graz im Rahmen des internationalen Workshops „Modelling & Simulation in Sports“ gemeinsam mit weiteren Anwendungsbeispielen vom Einzelmuskel bis zur Fußballmannschaft präsentiert. Alle Beiträge des Workshops sind in dem Buch „Modelling and Simulation in Sports & Exercise“ veröffentlicht worden.

Desert sand, microplastics, cancer cells: David Clases awarded ERC grant for analytical method

Nanoparticles trapped in polar ice can reveal a great deal about the climate 100,000 years ago. Chemist David Clases is developing unique methods to analyse them in detail. He will now adapt these methods for use with larger particles in order to glean even more information about Earth’s history. The method can be used for a wide range of other purposes – for example, in medical diagnostics or the investigation of environmental pollution. Clases has been awarded a Proof-of-Concept Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for this work.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.
