„Without stimulus, no response - without movement, no life."
— Prof. Dr. med. Jörg Spitz
During muscle contraction, hormone-like messengers are released - so-called myokines.
Movement is not an optional leisure activity - it is fundamental biology.
Lack of movement means sensory deprivation for all organs - including the brain.
NASA studies have shown: Healthy astronauts return after 6 months in space with muscle atrophy.
The reason is not malnutrition - but the lack of gravity as a stimulus.
These findings also apply to office workers: Those who sit all day simulate weightlessness.
Movement is the only medication without side effects.
