Institute of Sports Science

Since its foundation over 180 years ago, the Tübingen Institute of Sports Science (IfS) has developed into one of the most prestigious sports science institutions in Germany. In the meantime, more than 50 scientists research and teach in various topics in the fields of performance, health and education. The spectrum ranges from the promotion of talents and the design of sports competitions to school education and individualised health promotion. Together with the Department of Sports Medicine of the University Hospital of Tübingen, the IfS forms the Interfaculty Research Institute for Sports and Physical Activity.
