GyroTrainer with artificial intelligence Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in cooperation with partner companies have developed a device to provide back muscle training adapted to users' individual fitness levels. With the GyroTrainer, back strengthening exercises are adapted to the strength and ability of the individual user.

Team of researchers including Göttingen University detect Magnus effect at microscopic level Whether you are familiar with the term -Magnus effect- or not, you have certainly seen it in action. It is when a spinning ball - for instance in football, cricket or baseball - bends away from its expected trajectory, often to the surprise of the opposing team.

Positive effects of physical activity are fundamentally known for cardiovascular, metabolic and cancer diseases. However, the physical distance to physical activity centers is often a barrier. That's why researchers at the University of Leipzig have now tested whether app-based home exercise, including digital activity feedback via a smartwatch, works well for cancer patients after surgery.

Study at 21 dialysis centers: Kidney patients benefit from physical exercises Patients who engage in light exercise while undergoing dialysis are physically fitter and are admitted to hospital less frequently than those who do not. These are the findings of a large-scale study conducted by a consortium led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Treatment with amino acid extends lifespan in animal experiment Study: Ingestion of taurine delays aging Taurine deficiency is one of the driving forces in the aging process of humans and animals. This is one of the results of a study which has now been published in the prestigious journal Science. Treatment with taurine extends the lifespan of mice by 10 percent.

Researchers at the Clinic for Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine provide concrete measurement data for the first time How high is the training effect for users of electric bicycles, also called pedelecs? What positive effects on health can be expected? Scientists from the Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine at Hannover Medical School (MHH) investigated these questions in a study that lasted almost three years.
