Diagnostik und Intervention im Sport (RUB) B.A. Sportwissenschaft mit Schwerpunkt Gesundheit und Bewegungspädagogik (I) B.A. Pädagogik (II) (JMU) Sportpsychologische Expertin (asp) Ernährungscoach Mein Kontakt zum (Leistungs-)Sport Sport und Bewegung sind wichtige Bestandteile meines Lebens. Ich gehöre zu den glücklichen Menschen, die neben der eigenen sportlichen Erfahrung auch beruflich mit Sportler:innen arbeiten. Als Kind war ich vier Mal pro Woche beim Gerätturnen, besuchte Wettkämpfe und stand bei meinem Bruder am Fußballplatz. Später wechselte ich zum (Beach-)Volleyball. Ich praktiziere seit vielen Jahren Yoga und leite Trainings für verschiedene Zielgruppen. Auch liebe ich es Zuschauerin zu sein, weil die Emotionen im Sport einmalig mitreißend sind. Wann immer ich kann gehe ich Laufen, denn daraus schöpfe ich neue Kreativität, Energie und gute Laune. Meine allg. Erfahrungen mit talentierten Athlet:innen bei mentaltalent Seit 2019 habe ich mehrere Mannschaften aus dem Nachwuchs- und Profibereich im Eishockey sportpsychologisch betreut. Dazu kamen weitere Einzelbetreuungen von Athlet:innen aus dem Fußball, Basketball und der Leichtathletik. Meine Arbeit umfasst neben Workshops und Einzelcoachings auch die Arbeit mit Trainer:innen. Ich freue mich auf das Kennenlernen weiterer toller Persönlichkeiten aus unterschiedlichen Sportarten über mentaltalent . Meine Motivation, mit talentierten Nachwuchsathlet:innen zu arbeiten Mein Ziel ist es, Menschen zu mehr Zufriedenheit und Gesundheit im Alltag zu verhelfen. Die Sportpsychologie unterstützt Nachwuchsathlet:innen dabei, sich selbst besser zu verstehen, Herausforderungen sicherer zu meistern und mehr glückliche Momente zu erleben. In einer sportlichen Karriere liegt viel Wertvolles, das sie während und nach ihrer aktiven Zeit formen und prägen kann, vor allem dann, wenn sie sich in einem gesunden Umfeld bewegen – es motiviert mich, ein Teil davon zu sein.

Exercise Science and Coaching sportpsychologische Expertin (ÖBS) berufsbezogene systemische Beratung Mein Kontakt zum (Leistungs-)Sport Ich war selber 17 Jahre lang im Leistungssport (Rhythmische Sportgymnastik) aktiv und bin diesem bis heute sehr verbunden. So habe ich auch mein Sportstudium mit dem leistungssportlichen Schwerpunkt absolviert. Nach dem Ende meiner eigenen sportlichen Karriere bin ich froh am Olympiastützpunkt Rheinland Bundeskaderathlet:innen in ihrer beruflichen Laufbahn zu beraten und somit weiterhin im Leistungssport tätig zu sein. Meine allg. Erfahrungen mit talentierten Athlet:innen (bei mentaltalent ) Bei mentaltalent arbeite ich insbesondere mit jungen Athlet:innen aus den Turnsportarten, aber auch die Workshops mit den Athlet:innen im Sportinternat machen mir viel Spaß und sie verdeutlichen die Vielfalt des Leistungssports und dessen Anforderungen an die jungen Sportler:innen. Meine Motivation, mit talentierten Nachwuchsathlet:innen zu arbeiten Es bedeutet mir viel die jungen Nachwuchsportler:innen auf ihrem Weg in die Leistungssportkarriere zu unterstützen. Die Entwicklung der Athlet:innen, sowohl im sportlichen als auch persönlichen Bereich, zu beobachten und zu begleiten ist aus meiner Sicht ein absolutes Privileg!

Marloes Ekkelboom, doctoral student at the Institute of Sport History, took part in the renowned annual conference of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport from October 30 to November 2. Under the motto *"Communities, Axiologies, Politics, and Praxis ”, the event brought together over 300 experts and researchers, mainly from North America, to discuss current topics such as inclusion, power structures in sport and their connections with gender, race, disability and sexual orientation. The area of activism in sport also took center stage. In her presentation entitled *“Female Activism at the Olympic Games: A Comparative Analysis of Tokyo 2020 & Paris 2024”, Marloes Ekkelboom examined the framework conditions and motivational factors that shape female athletes in the context of social justice activism at the Olympic Games. Her analysis provided an insight into the developments and challenges faced by female athletes during these global sporting events. In addition, she visited the University of Illinois to exchange ideas with her mentor Dr. Yannick Kluch, who works there in the field of 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusion' in sport.

Annual banned-substance review - doping analysis Annual banned substance review 2024/2025 17 th February 2026 New publication Thevis M, Kuuranne T, Geyer H. Annual Banned-Substance Review 18 th Edition-Analytical Approaches in Human Sports Drug Testing 2024/2025. Drug Test Anal. 2026 Feb 17. doi: 10.1002/dta.70033. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 41702393. download article Abstract Alongside the considerable advances and accomplishments in drug research and development, the breadth of anti-doping research topics has also continued to grow. This is particularly relevant not only to provide comprehensive information on new drug entities, drug metabolism and elimination, and/or the impact of administration and exposure routes on analytical test results but also to ensure the timely implementation of analytical methods that ensure the availability of relevant anti-doping testing procedures and corresponding analytical data for routine doping control applications. The 18th edition of the annual banned-substance review on analytical approaches in human sports drug testing is dedicated to literature published between October 2024 and September 2025, and information published within these 12 months on established doping agents as well as new (potentially and evidently) relevant substances is reviewed and discussed, especially in the context of the World Anti-Doping Agency's 2025 Prohibited List. Topics of particular interest have been investigations into the metabolic fate and detection of anabolic agents, both anabolic-androgenic steroids and other anabolic substances such as selective androgen receptor modulators and protein-based therapeutics negatively regulating the activin receptor signaling pathway, and detection strategies for numerous new drug candidates have been discussed and presented. Further, the trend toward expanding testing options with regard to gene doping practices including oligonucleotide-based compounds (e.g., small interfering RNA, antisense oligonucleotides, etc.), transgenes, and gene editing practices continued also in 2024/2025, underlining the relevance for current and future sports drug testing programs. ______________________________________________________________________________ Annual banned substance review 2023/2024 28 th Dezember 2024 New publication Thevis M, Kuuranne T, Geyer H. Annual Banned-Substance Review 17 th Edition-Analytical Approaches in Human Sports Drug Testing 2023/2024. Drug Test Anal. 2024 Dec 28. doi: 10.1002/dta.3835. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 39731401. download article Abstract The 17 th edition of the annual banned-substance review on analytical approaches in human sports drug testing is dedicated to literature published between October 2023 and September 2024. As in previous years, focus is put particularly on new or enhanced analytical options in human doping controls as well as investigations into the metabolism and elimination of compounds of interest, which represent central (while not exclusive) cornerstones of the global anti-doping mission. New information published within the past 12 months on established doping agents as well as new potentially relevant substances are reviewed and discussed in the context of the World Anti-Doping Agency's 2024 Prohibited List. Thereby, analytical challenges, especially with regard to the continuously growing number of target compounds and potentially relevant drug classes as well as the exigency (and consequences) of utmost analytical retrospectivity, are thematized and contextualized. Investigations especially into anabolic agents, peptide hormones, and strategies for the detection of gene doping were identified as core areas of anti-doping research in the reviewed period. ______________________________________________________________________________ Annual banned-substance review 2022/2023 20 th November 2023 New publication Thevis M, Kuuranne T, Geyer H. Annual banned-substance review 16th edition-Analytical approaches in human sports drug testing 2022/2023. Drug Test Anal. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1002/dta.3602. download article Abstract In this 16 th edition of the annual banned-substance review on analytical approaches in human sports drug testing, literature on recent developments in this particular section of global anti-doping efforts that was published between October 2022 and September 2023 is summarized and discussed. Most recent additions to the continuously growing portfolio of doping control analytical approaches and investigations into analytical challenges in the context of adverse analytical findings are presented, taking into account existing as well as emerging challenges in anti-doping, with specific focus on substances and methods of doping recognized in the World Anti-Doping Agency's 2023 Prohibited List. As in previous years, focus is put particularly on new or enhanced analytical options in human doping controls, appreciating the exigence and core mission of anti-doping and, equally, the conflict arising from the opposingly trending extent of the athlete's exposome and the sensitivity of instruments nowadays commonly available in anti-doping laboratories. ______________________________________________________________________________ Annual banned-substance review 2021/2022 11 th November 2022 Thevis M, Kuuranne T, Geyer H. Annual banned-substance review - Analytical approaches in human sports drug testing 2021/2022 . Drug Test Anal. 2022;1‐22. doi:10.1002/dta.3408 download article Abstract Also in 2021/2022, considerable efforts were invested into advancing human sports drug testing programs, recognizing and taking into account existing as well as emerging challenges in anti-doping, especially with regard to substances and methods of doping specified in the World Anti-Doping Agency's 2022 Prohibited List. In this edition of the annual banned-substance review, literature on recent developments published between October 2021 and September 2022 is summarized and discussed. Focus is put particularly on enhanced analytical approaches and complementary testing options in human doping controls, appreciating the exigence and mission in anti-doping and, equally, the contemporary “new normal” considering, for example, the athlete's exposome versus analytical sensitivity and applicable anti-doping regulations for result interpretation and management.
