The Professorship of Sport Equipment and Sport Materials around their authors Philipp Kopp und Prof. Senner was able to establish a cooperation with the authors of the Division of Sports Psychology at the University of Vienna (Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Gröpel, PhD) and the Chair of Psychology at the Technical University of Munich (Prof. Dr. phil. Kehr, involved in PSE publication only), and achieved two Quartile 1 (Q1) publications in the leading sport psychology journals Psychology of Sport and Exercise (PSE; ELSEVIER B.V.) and Sport Exercise and Performance Psychology (SEPP, American Psychological Association (APA)). The publications were part of the research project Sustainable Fitness Services and deal with motivational and volitional determinants in relation to sports participation. Both articles make an essential contribution to actual and long-term behavior of individuals under daily-life conditions.
