It is widely acknowledged that inactivity makes you grow older faster.
Physical inactivity can lead to a number of diseases (e.g. hypertension, diabetes). People who exercise regularly
develop stronger muscles, bones and joints; moreover, the body releases chemicals called endorphins which not only
make them feel better but also have a proven anti-depressive effect, and can even help fight cancerous diseases.
Sports medicine specializes in preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries connected with sports and/or exercise.
In recent years, the significance of exercise has increased - especially among older people. The elderly work out more
regularly – some even on a competitive basis. These days everyone is increasingly engaged in their jobs and/or family
lives. As not enough time is left for regular training, a disparity can arise between competitive athletic ambitions
and actual physical conditioning. This, in turn, can often lead to injuries and pain. In the majority of cases, muscle
strains and joint injuries can be treated by conservative therapy. In other cases (more rarely) a surgical approach
may be recommended, e.g. for meniscus tears or severe ACL injuries.
Physical well-being is essential for exercise to continue to be effective and healthy.
