New demands on medicine: The athlete — a special
patient
Immobility on the one hand, with its health and socio-political
consequences, and sport on the other, which assists one’s individual
fitness, represent the current trends in Germany, as well as a challenge for
classical curative medicine. Exercise can serve as a primary preventive measure
or ancillary therapy for almost all illnesses. (Sport) medicine, together with
the institutes of learning, is indispensable for the moderation and transfer of
knowledge.
Since 2002, the International Congress for Endurance and Sport Medicine,
which is staged by the Department of Sport Medicine of the Humboldt University
of Berlin, the Berlin Academy for Sport Medicine, and the real,- BERLIN
MARATHON, has successfully put itself to the task of offering a forum for
relaying the newest in scientific research and revelations to doctors in a
manner in which they can promptly apply the knowledge in their practices. It is
this addressed group which is in end effect responsible for passing on this
preventive and sport medical content to the general public in a well-informed
manner.
Over the course of three days, topics in the areas of cardiology,
orthopaedics, and nutritional and sport science will be handled in the
form of general lectures and workshops. One highlight will be a look at
the Olympic Games from a sport medicine viewpoint by Prof. Wilfried
Kindermann of Saarbrücken, as well as at the European
Football Championships by Dr. Tim Meyer, also of
Saarbrücken.
In lieu of a pending regulation on preventive medicine, there will be a
podium discussion on the topic:
"Prevention: Possibilities and Limitations" from the
viewpoints of
- the state (Federal Ministry for Health)
- the health system (Prof. Dr. Henke, TU Berlin)
- the health care insurers ( AOK, Continentale)
- Pharmo-Therapy (Prof. Wehling)
- Exercise and Sport Medicine (Prof. Dr. Dickhuth, University of
Freiburg,
president of the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sportmedizin und
Prävention (German Society for Sport Medicine and Prevention)) and
- Diagnostics (Technologie-Stiftung Berlin).
Practical seminars, from training plans for selected illnesses to the
implementation of spiroergometric examinations, will present the many facets of
sport medicine.
