Preventive Sports Programms

 

Many studies have shown, that regular exercise positively influences the course of diseases and thus mortality. However, it is still unknown what content a effective programme needs to have, especially when individual charcteristics and aims are included. Thus, this area is a main research focus within the Institut of Sports and Preventive Medicine with Dr. Anne Hecksteden as main investigator.
