[6] In 2013 and 2019, Gollhofer was awarded the IDA Prize of the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg, respectively, together with colleagues. [7]

Gollhofer's research interests include adaptation mechanisms to training in amateur and elite sport, methods for determining functional performance in sport, technique and condition diagnostics, neuromuscular performance profiles, the relationship between conditional performance and age, functional joint stability, injury prevention and orthopaedic biomechanics. [8] Gollhofer co-authored the book "Einführung in die Sport- und Leistungsmedizin" [9] and edited the "Handbuch Sportbiomechanik" together with Erich Müller. [10]
