Marc Dalecki

Prof. Marc Dalecki serves as Vice President for Research & Teaching and Professor of Human Movement at DHGS Hochschule's Faculty of Sports Science in Berlin. He holds tenure as an Associate Professor at Louisiana State University and previously served at York University. His research focuses on motor and cognitive functions post-concussion, oxygen therapy effects on learning, and performance in weightlessness.

Education: Studied Sports Science at Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln, earned a PhD in fine motor and cognitive performance in simulated microgravity. Post-doc work at York University on concussion effects in youth, followed by tenure-track roles in the U.S.

Research explores motor-cognitive performance under extreme conditions (e.g., space, water immersion) and neurological disorders. Collaborations include ESA as a safety diver and scientific advisor for astronaut training. He co-developed the 'fit2dive' fitness test for scuba divers and chairs the CMAS European Sport Divers’ Association.

Publications emphasize concussion recovery, oxygen therapy’s cognitive benefits, and visuomotor control. Articles highlight clinical and applied neuroscience, bridging basic research with elite athlete and space exploration contexts.

Awards: None explicitly listed. Grants and advising: Focus on interdisciplinary projects combining neuroscience and sports science. Labs/Teams: Active in space physiology, concussion research, and dive fitness.
