The Faculty of Sports Science at the Ruhr University and VfL Bochum 1848 are taking the next step in their established cooperation and are expanding their collaboration to include the entire field of sports science. The aim is to implement a more objective assessment of all sporting topics at VfL, taking into account the latest sports science findings.

The 57th annual conference of the asp "Advances in Recovery and Stress Research" will take place from 29 to 31 May 2025 at the Ruhr University Bochum.

We congratulate Dennis Köstler and Philipp Thull on their victory!

They were able to collect precise data on heart rate variability, stress and sleep quality.
