Profil und Linktree

Thomas Gronwald ist Trainingswissenschaftler und -methodiker mit dem Schwerpunkt Belastungs- und Beanspruchungssteuerung und leitet den Arbeitsbereich „Translationale Trainingswissenschaft und Sportmedizin“ (TraEx) am Institut für Sportwissenschaft der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Im Speziellen beschäftigt er sich mit der Trainingssteuerung für Ausdauer- und Spielsportathlet:innen über Biomarkeranalysen sowie mit Auswirkungen von Ermüdungsprozessen auf das autonome und zentrale Nervensystem und der systemdynamischen Selbstregulation, zum Beispiel über Analysen der Herzfrequenzvariabilität. Zudem arbeitet er an Analysen von Verletzungsmustern und multimodalen Trainingsansätzen zur Verletzungsreduktion in Spielsport- und Individualsportarten. Thomas Gronwald ist Mitglied der National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), zertifiziert als „Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)“ und arbeitet mit Ausdauer- und Spielsportathlet:innen zusammen. Er ist Fellow des European College of Sport Science (ECSS), der weltweit führenden Institution für Sportwissenschaft.
