Disclaimer

1. Not a substitute for medical or professional training advice

Sportscience Made Easy publishes general, evidence-based information on sport, training and exercise science. This content is expressly not medical, physiotherapeutic, nutritional or individual sports science advice, and it replaces neither a medical examination nor a diagnosis, a course of treatment or supervision by qualified professionals.

Training recommendations drawn from studies apply to the group examined under the conditions of that study. Whether they transfer to your own situation depends on age, training status, pre-existing conditions, medication and other factors that this website cannot know. Anyone starting, changing or intensifying training should seek medical clearance beforehand – particularly where symptoms are present, after injury, during pregnancy and in later life.

Putting the content described here into practice is done at your own responsibility. In case of acute symptoms please consult a doctor; in an emergency within the EU, call 112.

2. Liability for content

As a service provider we are responsible for our own content on these pages under general law, in accordance with Section 7 (1) of the German Digital Services Act (DDG). Under Sections 8 to 10 DDG, however, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information, or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. Liability in this respect is possible only from the point at which a specific infringement becomes known. Should we become aware of any such infringements, we will remove the content concerned without delay.

3. Currency and accuracy

Content is prepared carefully, based on citable sources and checked before publication. Even so, no warranty can be given as to accuracy, completeness or currency. Sports science is a moving field: the state of evidence shifts, and individual findings are qualified or overturned by later work. An article reflects the position at the time it was written. If you notice an error, we would be glad to hear about it at info@sportsciencemadeeasy.info and will correct it promptly.

4. Liability for links

Our service contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. We therefore cannot accept any liability for that third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time of linking; unlawful content was not discernible at that point. Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without specific indications of an infringement. Should we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such links without delay.

5. Copyright

The content and works created by the site operator on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, adaptation, distribution and any kind of exploitation beyond the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted for private, non-commercial use only.

Quotations from academic work are made within the scope of the right of quotation under Section 51 of the German Copyright Act and are marked as such. Insofar as content on this site was not created by the operator, third-party copyrights are respected and such content is identified accordingly. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please let us know. Upon notification of infringements, we will remove such content without delay.

6. Use of generative AI

AI-assisted tools are used in researching, preparing and illustrating the articles. Editorial responsibility remains entirely with the operator: substantive statements are checked against the primary sources cited before an article is published. Illustrations are wholly or partly AI-generated and depict no real persons or documentary situations.

7. Limitation of liability

Claims for damages arising from the use or non-use of the information provided, or from the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are excluded unless there is demonstrable intent or gross negligence. This does not affect liability for damage arising from injury to life, body or health, liability under the German Product Liability Act, or liability for breach of material contractual obligations.

8. Availability

There is no entitlement to continuous availability of this service. We reserve the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire service without separate notice, or to suspend or discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.
