Electromyostimulation (EMS) training is an exercise method that activates muscles through electrical stimulation, combined with their simultaneous voluntary activation in simple and targeted movements performed with body weight. It is performed using medically certified equipment and under the guidance of a specially trained professional. The use of whole-body EMS ensures effective and targeted muscle activation, making it a powerful tool for the prevention and treatment of muscle atrophy. By activating all major muscle groups, it helps to combat muscle loss and maintain muscle strength and function in various clinical situations, e.g., sarcopenia in the elderly. Moreover, the miha bodytec Whole Body EMS Training method has been shown to be effective in preventing and treating non-specific lower back pain. With personalized guidance, it strengthens all the major muscle groups of the torso, requires minimal time, and reduces the perceived exertion and fatigue.

A technological solution for biomechanical motion analysis in sports and exercise. It redefines human performance enhancement through innovative applications in Biomechanics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Computer Engineering. By combining body-based measurements, processing the data, and transforming it into insights and recommendations, it provides a holistic view of athletic performance. The goals are training optimization, injury prevention, and the maximization of athletic potential. The objective of this workshop is to introduce a groundbreaking, personalized approach to athlete performance analysis, permanently moving beyond generic, non-individualized models. By leveraging advanced biomechanical models and continuous assessment of muscle function, this internationally patented software delivers a unified, globally understandable “language” for interpreting training loads and defining performance optimization strategies.

The Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) Reader is a non-invasive monitoring device that uses ultraviolet light to excite autofluorescence in human skin tissue. The measurement of AGEs provides an immediate cardiovascular risk prediction in 12 seconds. AGEs represent critical biomarkers associated with the processes of biological aging, longevity, and the development of chronic diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. By providing immediate and reliable insights into metabolic and vascular health, the AGE Reader enhances the capacity of healthcare and exercise professionals to conduct better risk assessments and design personalized, evidence-based interventions.
