Effective endurance training through a variety of methods and new knowledge
Endurance training is a core component of training programs in health, fitness and competitive sports. The effects have been largely researched. In the context of endurance training methods, however, a paradigm shift has taken place in recent years. While in the past training basic endurance with moderate intensity was the method of choice, training methods with interval-like loads and sometimes high temporary intensities are increasingly in focus. The importance of lactate is also discussed today from a completely different perspective. While lactate was formerly classified as a “waste product”, today it is viewed as an important substrate that promotes rather than inhibits the training effects in endurance training. In this thematic block, selected new findings from endurance sports research are presented, which are also discussed critically in terms of the feasibility in fitness sports.
Lectures and speakers in this topic block:

Commercial perspectives of nutrition in the fitness market
Nutritional advice and coaching are part of interdisciplinary support in the fitness market. Through the planned and structured use of social media channels, the importance of nutritional coaching can be shown to the customer. In personal training, the trainer can have a major impact on his client's goal achievement through individual nutritional advice. Dietary supplements can also help. But not only athletes, other target groups such as B. Patients with metabolic syndrome can be supported by a professional nutritionist in the gym.

The advice and support that we use to contact customers on the training area will increasingly become a qualitative differentiator between the fitness facilities. In the thematic block "Coaching in fitness facilities" you will learn what role coaching can play as a quality feature in customer care, how the activities of trainers and coaches differ and what a trainer can learn from a coach in order to provide customers with all-round support.

Member acquisition and retention through effective online marketing
For companies in the fitness industry, online marketing is an important, if not currently THE most important source for attracting new prospects and members. However, practice shows that many companies are not yet fully exploiting this opportunity and the associated potential.
Companies are often faced with the question of why which online marketing channels are “to be used” and, above all, how these channels can be used in such a way that new customers can be won and existing members can be better bound.
This thematic block explains why online marketing is currently “on everyone's lips” and what can be possible with it. "Content" is the essential basis for every online marketing presence. You will learn what exactly is called "content" and how to create it. It also shows how Instagram stories can be used in practice to attract new members and better bind existing ones.

Current and future strategic challenges in the fitness and health industry
The fitness and health industry is growing rapidly and steadily. This makes the market attractive and interesting for many competitors.
At the same time, this development also leads to strong changes and ever new challenges that gyms are facing and for which they have to be “fit” to master them.
As a provider of personal services, the topic of personnel is of particular importance. In addition, you have to question your own concept again and again in order to face new, disruptive business models at eye level and to be able to survive against them or with them.

Successful prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in company practice
About a third of all sick times at work are attributed to professional activity. The musculoskeletal disorders, especially back problems, dominate the spectrum of diseases. Effective prevention approaches are therefore important from an employee perspective as well as from an economic perspective, i.e. on the part of the company.
In this forum you will learn how you can record and evaluate work-related physical stress in a company context. It is presented which prevention approaches prove to be particularly promising from a scientific point of view and which contribution digital solutions can make to improve employee health.

With the right strategy, planning and financing for a successful start-up
The desire for freedom and self-fulfillment makes more and more people think about self-employment. Due to the continuous increase in demand, the fitness industry in particular offers motivated entrepreneurs a wide range of options for building up an independent existence.
When it comes to the question in which industry you should start your own business, most people who want to start a business are guided by their own interests or professional background. "Turning your own hobby into a profession" is a decisive driving factor for many founders. The steady growth of the fitness industry also makes the market seem attractive for many start-up founders - especially if you were infected with the "fitness virus" beforehand and have a high affinity for sports.
However, there is often a lack of the right strategy, appropriate and realistic planning and adequate funding for the start-up project.

Location selection, risk protection and takeovers in the context of setting up a business
The dynamism of the fitness market is not only expressed in steady growth, but is also reflected in the age structure of the owners of fitness and health facilities: There are more and more “first generation” owners who are looking for successors for their companies that are established on the market.
On the other hand, many young start-up founders are pushing onto the market, ensuring constant diversification of the services offered. More and more start-up projects are characterized by a manageable need for capital, which can also be managed by young self-employed with a limited budget.
The key risks in a start-up project need to be known and minimized through appropriate measures. The choice of the right location is of central importance, especially for start-ups.

Athletic training - new approaches, stress management, health effects
In athletic training, trainers and athletes move in a permanent field of tension between the highest possible training effect through intensive stress on the one hand and the side effects of such training on the other. In times of functional training, “power training” is part of the modern lifestyle. But is high intensity also automatically effective? What happens in the event of a permanent sports overdose? In times of apps and YouTube, we have to attach as much importance to regeneration management as to training effects. In addition, new approaches show that the purely biomechanical perspective is not sufficient to explain the effects of training. Rather, the interaction between the central nervous system and the input systems must be given greater importance. The approach of neurotraining is dedicated to this aspect and shows how pain perception or individual performance resources can be improved.

Food, Training & Nutrition Regimes
Despite perfect training planning, a successful athlete or athlete will only achieve his goal effectively if he adapts his diet to his stress stimuli. In addition to the macronutrients, the micronutrients and function-maintaining nutrients are essential for optimal performance. But the fitness market is characterized by constantly emerging nutrition trends. How this is to be evaluated and which dietary supplements can be used sensibly is shown on the basis of various topics in this block.

Successful leadership in the fitness and healthcare industry
Despite the ubiquitous digitalization, people still matter when it comes to the provision of services. The focus of action is on people.
Successful leadership is based on the company-specific corporate culture and provides the employees, i.e. the people, with guidelines for a constantly differentiating behavior, performance and communication culture. Since human interaction is at the center of the customer relationship, adequate behavior and appropriate communication between the employees involved is an essential requirement. The better the employees are managed, the better the customer relationship will be.
In this lecture you will learn how successful leadership in the fitness and health industry succeeds and what effect meaningful, appreciative and healthy leadership has on employees and how this can sustainably ensure the success of the company.

Service and service
Customer satisfaction, character of experience and a pronounced willingness to provide services are key success factors for a personal service such as fitness.
In the so-called “people business”, every company should inspire its customers at all relevant touchpoints. This also includes knowing the customers and their stories. The skilful combination of company, employee and customer stories is the catalyst for high performance in service. But mistakes happen whenever human involvement is required. Even the best provider cannot prevent facing dissatisfied and angry customers. This is where risk and opportunity are close together: the risk of losing customers in the event of a wrong reaction and the opportunity to professionally deal with complaints to inspire and make exactly these customers loyal regular customers.

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation after shoulder injuries
This block of topics deals with rehab after shoulder injuries. In the first lecture, you will get to know the practical value and benefits of the Return to Activity Algorithm (RTAA) in general and specifically using the example of the upper extremities, starting from the question of when and what stresses and strains are possible again. Therapists and sports scientists from the Munich OSINSTITUT each developed an RTAA for the lower extremities, for the upper extremities and for the spine.
Success in rehab requires, in addition to adapted exercise and training therapy, the motivation and cooperation of those affected. The topic of the second lecture is how therapists achieve a good understanding of the training with their patients and thus more personal responsibility.
In the third lecture you will take a look at the practice: Using a case study, you will experience the rehab process of a patient with a condition after shoulder dislocation and pulling the rotator cuff.
Lectures and speakers in this topic block

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation after spinal injuries
This block of topics deals with rehab after spinal injuries and also starts with the Return to Activity Algorithm (RTAA), now related to injuries to the spine. The RTAA is used to determine when a patient with spinal problems has been rehabilitated to such an extent that he can return to work, leisure activities or sports.
Patient education is the therapist's empowerment of the patient to self-management, health and function. Today it belongs to the patient management of modern physiotherapy and is particularly important when working with athletes.
Then take a look at the practice (case study): You can understand the course of therapy of a skier who has suffered a herniated disc at the cervical spine in the event of a fall. The clinical assessment of nerve conductivity was the guide for the progression of passive and active therapy in this patient.

Research update and new methodological approaches in strength training
While in the past, the training science recommendations on load design in strength training were largely adopted without reflection, in recent years more and more new strategies that come from training practice have become the focus of strength training research. For example, today she is concerned with the question of the extent to which the speed of movement or the current form of the day can influence the load structure in training. Unfortunately, only a few findings from strength training research come from field tests in the “fitness studio” setting. But this is exactly where application-related research must take place so that practical knowledge can also be gained for the practice of fitness strength training. In addition to new strategies for optimizing the design of stress, in this thematic block we also present results from various multicenter strength training studies in the setting "fitness studio".
Lectures and speakers in this topic block:

"Marketing prepares sales"
This "wisdom" is still valid. The better the marketing processes are designed, the more successful a company can be. It does not matter whether you do your own marketing or outsource the relevant processes to an agency. A basic understanding must always be given.
In order to be able to survive on the market in the long term, it is essential to identify new target groups and to address them precisely. This requires foresight and openness, because potentially suitable target groups are often not where you would expect them to be.
The framework for targeted marketing is a strong employer brand. This is the only way for a company to be able to attract the right employees to successfully provide services.

Sales & Distribution
The behavior of our current and potential customers is constantly changing. The digital change is increasingly shaping consumers' shopping habits. Personal service providers also need to think about the possibilities of online membership. In addition, there is the ever-increasing individualization of offers, which is also driven by digitization. A sales strategy tailored precisely to your own target group is more important than ever for success. In order to exploit all possible potential, it is also worth exploring whether new offers can be opened up with existing offers, such as wellness.

Practice of EMS training - mode of action and application options for trainers, operators and interested parties
Whole-body electromyostimulation (GK-EMS) continues to have a polarizing effect on the players in the fitness industry. The usually subjective opinions range from absolute rejection including concerns about the safe use of GK-EMS to absolute conviction about this form of training. Even if some training effects of GK-EMS have already been proven, the optimal dose-response relationship or the effects of GK-EMS have still been relatively little researched in specific target groups. In this regard, EMS training practice is ahead of research. In this thematic block you will receive information on current research results and training tips on everything to do with GK-EMS and thus gain specialist skills in order to be able to offer your customers evidence-based, effective GK-EMS training.

Challenges for sports physiotherapists: competitive athletes and children
Sports physiotherapists face many challenges: Either because the requirements in the respective discipline are particularly high or because the target group requires a specific approach. This thematic block is about extreme athletes and their support on the one hand and the special challenges of training with children and adolescents on the other. Extreme athletes are usually fit, so physical endurance is usually not an issue for these athletes. Rather, the question arises as to which skills may also be required on a mental level in order to be able to meet the extreme demands of competition. Children usually enjoy movement naturally - they run, jump, climb and fight. Many are also active in sports clubs, play football or pursue other hobbies. In very few cases, however, there is a strength training that is adapted and motivating to the biological age.

Supervise professional athletes
Prevention of injuries and signs of overload play a particularly important role in professional sports - there are many effective approaches, but transferring them into practice is still a challenge. The information deficit does not only exist for the athletes themselves, but also for coaches and therapists. If injuries occurred during training or in competition, sport-specific rehabilitation is necessary. Among other things, complaints in the hip and groin are common in basketball. In the best case, this is to be avoided. If these problems occur or even persist, an active rehabilitation model is important. In football, there are either long-term signs of overload or acute injuries during the game. In both cases, doctors and therapists have to work together in a team.
