Free series of events for athletes, trainers, doctors and patients

Sport is considered one of the most effective and safest "medicines". But how much sport is healthy? What "dose" is required to prevent illness and to rehabilitate and improve quality of life in the event of illness? How do health and recreational athletes train correctly? How do top athletes train correctly? Which patients are allowed to do sport and how? We would like to provide answers to these and other questions with our series of events - compact, scientifically sound and understandable for everyone. Experts from the fields of sport and medicine share their experiences, findings and methods and are available to answer questions.

"We look forward to presenting exciting lectures on sport and medicine by renowned speakers at the cutting edge of science and discussing them with the experts," says Prof. Jürgen Scharhag, Head of the Department of Sports Medicine at the Institute of Sports Science at the University of Vienna and the ÖISM. Three to four times a year, we invite sportspeople, athletes, coaches, sports scientists, doctors, patients and students to three to four lectures of 20 minutes each plus 10 minutes of discussion.

"Child and Sport" will be the motto of our 2nd forum on 17.01.2024. You can use our registration form (third block, below) to secure your place now.
