The theory and practice of exercises
Author: KK

In their recently published book “Beweg Dich” (434 pages, ISBN 9783939025955), the two professors of medicine Hans H. Epperlein and Andreas Deussen seek to raise awareness of the importance of regular exercise in preventive healthcare.

The book teaches readers ways to exercise such as gymnastics and endurance sports that can be used to achieve lasting fitness. That fitness comes from using 1,500 to 2,500 kcal more each week than you do when resting.
A workshop on staying healthy through exercise (“Gesund durch Bewegung”) run by the book’s authors and a number of other experts is to be held in Dresden from October 5 to 7, 2018. The workshop is aimed at fitness enthusiasts, gymnastics teachers, physical therapists, fitness instructors, sports medicine specialists, and physical education teachers.
 

For more information and to register, please contact . The closing date for registration is September 7, 2018. The workshop costs 90/60 euros (full price/student price). The workshop comprises 14 teaching units and is worth 14 professional development credits.
