    Open AccessAnnika Steinmann, David Jaitner et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2026

    This study examines the systemic dynamic of collaboration and the role of intersystem sensitivity between coaches and physiotherapists in German elite sport support teams. Based on a heuristic that integrates theories of society, conflict, and professionalisation within the framework of Niklas Luhmann’s sociological systems theory, the study employs qualitative content analysis of expert interviews with representatives of both professional groups…

  • Wozu communiter ? Theoretische Überlegungen zum Gemeinsinn im modernen Olympischen Sport

    Tobias Arenz, David JaitnerARTICLESport und Gesellschaft2024

    Dieser Text nimmt die Erweiterung des Olympischen Mottos zu „citius, altius, fortius – communiter“ zum Anlass, nach der Bedeutung von Gemeinsinn (lat. sensus communis ) im Olympischen Sport zu fragen. Unter Bezugnahme auf eine gesellschaftstheoretische Perspektive argumentieren wir, dass der Gemeinsinn die Fähigkeit des Olympischen Sports bezeichnet, sein normatives Grundprinzip – das Fair Play – zum Thema zu machen. Die Akte der Reflektion haben…

  • “Reflective practice” in physical education

    Open AccessEsther Serwe-Pandrick, David Jaitner et al.ARTICLEGerman Journal of Exercise and…2023

    Physical education (PE) is rooted in a historically evolved subject culture that goes largely unquestioned in everyday teaching and learning. It is characterized by a normative primacy of movement practices, placing it in a precarious relationship with the intellectual practices required by sports pedagogy and school curricula. The present case study is based on praxeological classroom research and examines how didactic interferences between inte…

  • Claim vs. Reality”—A German Case Study on Modes and Functions of Sports-Pedagogical Communication

    Open AccessDavid Jaitner, Swen Koerner et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2021References: 2

    Academic sports pedagogy continuously assures itself of its disciplinary foundations and determines its position in the structure of modern sciences. While communication is based on differences, the distinction between claim and reality plays a crucial role in sports pedagogy. However, the forms and functions in which the distinction appears have not been more closely investigated in sports pedagogic. This article starts with this in mind, exempl…

  • Determinants of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in German Elementary School Physical Education Lessons

    Open AccessDavid Jaitner, Maria Bergmann et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2020References: 7

    Physical activity (PA) in school physical education (PE) is a signature component of health promotion and health education. The study's aim was to explore PA levels and sedentary time in German elementary school PE lessons and relate them to selected personal and environmental PA determinants. Accelerometer measurements were collected from 328 students (47% male, mean age 8.7 ± 1.2 years) in 11 elementary schools in Baden-Wuerttemberg (Germany). …

  • Soziale Funktionen von Sportvereinen

    Swen Koerner, David Jaitner et al.BOOKSoziale Funktionen von…2019

    Der organisierte Sport bindet traditionell unterschiedlichste soziale Funktionen an sich. In gleicher Weise gehören eben diese gesellschaftlichen Nutzenerwartungen zu den Standardargumenten, mit denen Staat und Politik vielfältige Subventionsleistungen an den Sport rechtfertigen. Der vorliegende Band unternimmt den Versuch, die aktuelle sportwissenschaftliche Evidenzbasis ausgewählter Zuschreibungsroutinen systematisch zu ordnen, in eine möglichs…

  • Voluntary sports clubs as ‘schools of democracy’? Critique of German sports science

    David JaitnerARTICLESport Education and Society2018References: 11

    In Western societies, modern sports have always been subjected to diverse expectations of social benefits. One especially bold and frequently repeated claim is that voluntary sports clubs serve as ‘schools of democracy’. Based on a pragmatist framework of critique, the present study provides the first comprehensive map of evidence on this subject from German sports science, revealing limitations in the content, research methodologies, and democra…

  • Sportvereine als „Schulen der Demokratie“?

    David JaitnerBOOKSportvereine als „Schulen der…2017

    Der moderne Sport versteht es seit jeher, unterschiedlichste gesellschaftliche Nutzenerwartungen eigennützig an sich zu binden. Fest verankert und beständig wiederholt ist der wenig bescheidene Anspruch moderner Sportvereine, „Schulen der Demokratie“ zu sein. Diese Studie ordnet die sportwissenschaftliche Evidenzbasis eben dieser Zuschreibungsroutine und eröffnet eine demokratietheoretische Alternative. Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Alternative ist di…
