DACH Tagung 2025!

Mit einem Überblick über sportwissenschaftliche Grundlagen eröffnete Prof. Steib das Symposium „Update Bewegungstherapie in der Neurorehabilitation“.
Anschließend zeigten Dr. Wanner und Dr. Kwag die Wirksamkeit und Bedeutung der Bewegungstherapie bei Parkinson.

Great to have @bartwil.bsky.social from Medical University of Gdansk at our institute this summer!
He is with us until the end of September and presented his projects after two months @issw-heidelberg.bsky.social – sparking valuable discussions and ideas.

Does working out in the evening affect how well you sleep and how sharp your memory is the next day?
Our colleagues D. Ramirez Butavand, @simonsteib.bsky.social, together with J. Nagel & @gordonfeld.bsky.social looked into it!

Already two weeks into our 8-week stay in Montreal at the Memory Lab of @mcgillrehab.bsky.social at McGill University with Prof. Dr. Marc Roig! Excited to dive deeper into methods around exercise, sleep and memory, and grateful to share this experience with my colleague Philipp.

Time to celebrate in our Human #Movement, #Training & Active #Aging lab: After months of intense data collection, the projects PlaSleep, FaSTer and TRANSFORM have successfully completed their final sessions.

Big thanks to everyone who supported the process, now on to the analyses! 📊

🎉 Excited to share that our pilot is now published! We explored dose–response effects, feasibility, and acceptability of perturbation training in fall-prone older adults.

Excellent work by our collaborators at the Geriatric Center @uniheidelberg.bsky.social

Our colleagues Joel Grathwohl and @nicolefrisch.bsky.social shared insights on projects from our Human #Movement, #Training & Active #Aging lab at the #Brain Days hosted by @mes4schung.bsky.social. A great opportunity to connect with others and exchange ideas on current #neuroscience topics!

Today is World Parkinson’s Day! 🌍🌷
Our ongoing “EMCo” study explores if training can boost memory & cognition in people with Parkinson’s. 🧠
Exercise may enhance brain plasticity! 💡

Today is #WorldSleepDay! 🏃‍♀️💤

Did you know that we have sleep labs at our institute?
In our Human Movement, Training and Active Aging lab, we have ongoing research projects exploring how exercise affects sleep and cognition in different populations. #exercise #sleep
