“The benefit that children and young people can play sports again outweighs the minimally increased risk of infection,” said the head of the Institute for Sports and Preventive Medicine at Saarland University of the “Saarbrücker Zeitung”.

In the given group sizes in training, he could not really recognize the types of sport and their idiosyncrasies, but rather saw that the decimal system was used.

The doctor has been in the selection of the German Football Association (DFB) since 2001. He was in charge of developing the hygiene concept for the German Football League (DFL) as well as developing a concept for the return of amateur, children’s and youth sports in the corona pandemic.
