N2  -  The medical specialty of “Sports Medicine”, which has just been created in the EU, embodies the basis of comprehensive prevention.
Preventive health care means: multidisciplinary and professional cooperation between sports medicine, nutritional medicine, lifestyle and environmental medicine, other medical disciplines as required and the integration of other health sciences.
However, sports medicine has a special role to play as an important component of preventive medicine: sports medicine is “the” preventive medicine: exercise, physical activity, training and sport have a pleiotropic effect. They are a natural “polypill” and therefore have a positive influence on all organs and organ systems, eating habits, mindset, mental balance and stress resistance.
