  • Whether digital or analog, in the lecture hall, office or at the kitchen table - lectures, discussions and meetings are appointments that can be extremely tiring, especially due to long periods of sitting and the concentration required. If you're out of breath or have finished your coffee, it's hard to avoid dozing off.

    The active break is designed for precisely this situation. Short videos (around 6 minutes each) instruct and demonstrate easy movement exercises that can be carried out in any lecture hall, conference room or office. Firmly integrated into everyday university life, regular active breaks keep you fit, healthy and focused - for a radiant performance, even on long days.

    The videos were made available with the kind support of the University of Regensburg.

In his lecture, “The Biomechanics of Aging,” Prof. Sebastian Dendorfer will explain how simple tricks can help prevent future health issues and why it is never too early or too late to incorporate movement into daily life to avoid future discomfort.

    Interested individuals can book appointments anytime from January 20th through February and also test the current AI-supported gait analysis system.

     

     

    Thank you very much for your interest in the lecture! In total, more than 50 people participated.
