Pediatric sports medicine

Long-term, often inpatient therapies reduce physical development and performance, with the possible consequence of a long-term or permanent reduction in quality of life, participation and ability to work. Due to the lack of exercise, cardiopulmonary function, muscle strength and coordination skills do not develop in an age-appropriate manner. Thanks to the interdisciplinary cooperation between the Department of Sports Medicine and various Clinical Departments at Hannover Medical School, children and adolescents are offered opportunities to receive sports therapy support and care.
