At least 90 minutes of exercise per day, 12,000 steps, and not more than 60 minutes of TV and computer consumption for kids aged between 6 and 11: These are only three of the rec-ommendations made by German sports scientists in an “expert consensus”. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) contributed to this consensus. Enhancing exercise of kids and adolescents will also be in the focus of the Kids Gymnastics Congress that will take place on KIT Campus South from June 21 to 23, 2013.
In close partnership with society, KIT develops solutions for urgent challenges – from climate change, energy transition and sustainable use of natural resources to artificial intelligence, sovereignty and an aging population. As The University in the Helmholtz Association, KIT unites scientific excellence from insight to application-driven research under one roof – and is thus in a unique position to drive this transformation. As a University of Excellence, KIT offers its more than 10,000 employees and 22,800 students outstanding opportunities to shape a sustainable and resilient future. KIT – Science for Impact.
