For children having deficiencies in motor skills, it is very difficult to catch up. Differences in fitness substantiate with time. This is the result of a large-scale long-term study of the Institute of Sports and Sports Science (IfSS) of KIT. According to the study, it is important to focus on exercise in early infancy already. The congress will deal with the question: “Wie bringen wir Kinder und Jugendliche in Bewegung?” (How do we put children and adolescents in motion?). The congress (in the German language) will take place on March 13 and 14, 2015 on KIT Campus South.
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.
