Rehab and grassroots sport

Information about the groups on the homepage.

Target group / offers: Who is physically fit, gets sick less often - everyone knows that. Training benefits not only the healthy, but also the sick - everyone knows that. However, the fact that sporting activity primarily benefits patients with chronic lung disease, emphasize sports medicine. People whose breath is quickly scarce are more likely to set physical strains. But that is not health-promoting. How much people with asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive bronchitis) benefit from a workout, the sports doctors know. With severe COPD, regular lung sports can make the difference between need for care and an independent life. Even people who have already lost half of their lung function due to COPD can still lead a completely normal life - if they exercise regularly. (Prof. Dr. Paul Haber)
