Sports aptitude test with record number of participants

On June 18, 2010, it was time again for the annual sports aptitude test of the Institute of Sport and Sports Science. 160 potential first-year students competed to prove their suitability to study sport at the University of Kassel by successfully completing a total of 10 disciplines. The sports aptitude test was opened by Prof. Dr. Norbert Hagemann, who welcomed the prospective students and informed them about the course of the examination day. Among other things, they were tested in the areas of endurance, speed, strength and power, but coordinative aspects also play an elementary role in the aptitude test at the University of Kassel. The focus was on coordination under time pressure and coordination under rhythmic requirements. Also relevant for successful completion of the sports aptitude test were sport-specific skills in the discipline of gymnastics and in various team sports. The swimming discipline was deemed to have been passed if the candidates were able to present their DLRG bronze lifeguard certificate. Thanks to the help of numerous volunteers, the sports aptitude test ran smoothly.
The Institute of Sport and Sport Science would like to congratulate all applicants who have successfully passed the sports aptitude test and looks forward to welcoming the new first-year students for the 2010/2011 winter semester.
