Podcast: Henning Wackerhage on Leisure Sports and Physical Activity in Daily Life

ZEIT Online interviewed Henning Wackerhage on the topic of leisure sports. In the podcast, he discusses the importance of regular physical activity outside of competitive sports. Among other issues, he addresses how people can find a suitable sport based on their personality type and how to integrate exercise into their daily routines for the long term. 

The discussion sheds light on scientific insights into the effects of physical activity and guides how motivation and routines develop. It also explores how much time is essential to become physically fit—and why exercise begins even in the subway station.

HyperMet research examines the impact of muscle growth (hypertrophy) and muscle loss (atrophy) on metabolism. Increased muscle mass reduces the risk of obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, and potentially cancer. We are exploring the underlying metabolic processes to develop new strategies for prevention and everyday life.
