Outdoor Sports in Pediatric Oncology

An interview about the ski project has been published in the latest issue of the journal “Grundschule Sport.” Editor Prof. Michael Krüger and project director Eike Boll discuss the ski trips and highlight the project’s potential for promoting physical activity in everyday life, which includes, not least, reintegration into schools and school sports.

As part of the winter sports project, a new trip concept called the “Frequent Traveler Trip” will be introduced in the winter of 2027. This concept is the result of growing demand, not least from participating families who have already taken part in the program. This trip will take place from March 13 to 20.

The dates for the winter sports trips in winter 2027 have been set and are published here.

Eike Boll presented the cooperation project between the Institute of Sports Science and the Department of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology as part of the lunchtime training course - a series of training sessions at the University Hospital for paediatric doctors and anyone interested. The focus was particularly on the snow sports project and its development in recent years. The exchange with colleagues from the clinic was very beneficial for the perspective of the overall project, which also offers various water sports and a climbing and bouldering programme for children and young people with cancer. Once again, the multi-professional orientation of the project became clear: in addition to doctors from the various paediatric disciplines, the training also involved specialists from the fields of sports, occupational and physiotherapy.
