Australia has long had an excellent international reputation for innovative research on European history. This research project will expand that reputation by providing cutting-edge research into a new field that is just beginning to be developed. The project brings together research in sport with research into the history of science and medicine that will allow Australia to participate in major international debates in all of these fields. It examines the social and cultural significance of sports using Germany as a case study. A sports conscious and performance oriented society like Australia would certainly benefit from insights about the relationship between sports and performance management in a different time and place.
