With a passion for sport and the ability to work and communicate effectively with other athletes, my journey began. My engineering degree in 2003 laid the foundation for my professional development. Following this, I decided to study Sports Science, which built a bridge between my passion for sport and my fascination with scientific research. My journey took me to the role of co-trainer at SK Sturm Graz Amateuren and later back to Carinthia, where I founded several sports clubs and worked as a sports scientist and trainer. I focused on sports science, public health and fitness and health monitoring. As part of my activities, I was entrusted with the project management of numerous national physical activity projects. Since 2018, I have increasingly devoted myself to research, which is also reflected in my scientific publications. My focus has been on sports science, public health and fitness and health monitoring.
