Physical Activity and Sports
Regular exercise not only increases physical fitness, but also improves mental well-being and has been shown to reduce the risk of a variety of common diseases. Furthermore, regular physical exercise is a helpful strategy in coping with stress and promotes mental regeneration and can contribute to the relief of various medical conditions.
With our exercise and sports offers, we would like to support you in implementing a healthy lifestyle or on the way to it.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Occupational Health Service.
