In many sporting activities the knee or shoulder is subjected to heavy stress. Ball-related sport, skiing, and rhythmic gymnastics often abuse the joints. However, in some cases damage to the joints can be avoided if incorrect weight bearing is detected in good time. Proper therapy also limits any adverse effects.
Specialists in the BG clinics are available around the clock to provide advice and support to competitive and part-time athletes. Coaches and athletes receive valuable information about their injury or illness and can have the performance of the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system measured and, as a result, optimise their training plan: as part of rehabilitation, in preparation for a competition, during the competition phase itself or in the regeneration phase that follows.
The latest treadmills and bicycle ergometers are used in the scope of testing how the heart rate and blood pressure react to stress.
In addition, the BG clinics also accommodate children's and youth sport. For example, young people who stand out in their respective club or state association can have their physical condition analysed. Individual targeted training plans designed to improve their performance are developed for them.
The professional association recommends annual performance checks for professional teams and individual athletes.
Professional athletes have statutory accident insurance; the insurer is the "Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft" (institution for statutory accident insurance and prevention in the administrative sector), which pays the treatment and follow-up costs related to sport injuries and occupational diseases of sports professionals.
