More about the book

This volume combines four works reports of international outstanding research groups of sports medicine. The importance of physical activity and sport for a healthy life is examined from four different angles: epidemiological studies show from a bird's-eye view that regular physical activity enhances the probability of a long healthy life; but genetic factors play an important role; physical activity can strengthen the immune system, but only when dosed correctly; physical activity is also connected with the development of brain and mind.
