University Sports

Sport is an essential part of a healthy life and contributes significantly to mental well-being: 

• Sport and exercise help the body reduce stress hormones and release muscle tension.
• Physical activity allows you to feel your strength and power – which also strengthens you mentally. 
• Regular exercise is a powerful way to prevent depression, especially in winter.
• Sport provides opportunities for social interaction, team spirit, and shared experiences – a real mood booster! Maybe you'd even like to go on an excursion or get your sailing license at Lake Edersee.
• You can simply try out a new sport without any pressure to perform or commitment, allowing you to grow personally and perhaps discover a new hobby.

• Sports and exercise activties offered by the Center for University Sports (Zentrum für Hochschulsport – German website)
