The Silesian University of Technology hosted the event "We support sport scientifically"

Sports competitions, lectures by specialists in: medicine, sport and technology, together with consultations and a relaxation zone - all these awaited students, secondary school pupils and all people interested in a healthy lifestyle on the campus of the Silesian University of Technology, where the event "We support sport scientifically" was held.

The Science Popularisation Centre organised the event. The Director of the Centre, Professor Aleksandra Ziembińska-Buczyńska, and the Vice-Rector for Infrastructure and Promotion, Professor Tomasz Trawiński, as well as Marcin Górski, Director of the Project Management Centre, welcomed the participants.

(…) Since there is a "Sports Day" and a "We support sport scientifically" event at the Silesian University of Technology, we have to move our bodies. Our trainer will show you how to activate all your muscles in a brief time. After this short warm-up, I will invite you to sports competitions, said Professor Aleksandra Ziembińska-Buczyńska at the beginning of the event.

PŚ, oraz prorektor ds. infrastruktury i promocji dr hab. inż. Tomasz Trawiński, prof. PŚ, a także dr inż. Marcin Górski, Dyrektor Centrum Zarządzania Projektami.

The Vice-Recor Professor Tomasz Trawiński emphasised that science and sport complement each other. - They have always been connected, and we all know it is the truth. We can show that our scientific achievements can be transferred to sport and medicine, and we have been doing this effectively for many years. Engineers have a lot to offer in the field of modern medicine, such as devices that support diagnosis and the daily work of doctors. Thanks to this, athletes can also prepare themselves more effectively and safely for increased exertion before competitions. Simply put, they can train better and more effectively. So it is all connected - sport, medicine and engineering - said Vice-Rector Trawiński.

After the sports competition, the participants could listen to lectures on technology, medicine and sport. The audience found out, among other things, whether evolution has spoiled us and how to turn a smartphone into a portable diagnostic laboratory.

Professor Robert Michnik, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, gave the last lecture.  - We spend more and more time in a sitting position. We do not move much, and this, in consequence, is very bad for our health. The lecture that I will be presenting here will talk about the possibility of using modern technological tools, even what we all have, i.e. how smartphones can be used to monitor our health and consequently improve it - said Professor Robert Michnik before the lecture.

The "We support sport scientifically" event was also attended by participants of the EURECA-PRO Review Week taking place at the Silesian University of Technology. One of the lectures on running was given by Héctor Paredes Suárez from the University of León in Spain.

The "We support sport scientifically" event was held on the campus of the Silesian University of Technology on Akademicka Street. The sports competition was attended by students of secondary schools in Gliwice, who had the opportunity to learn more about the educational offer of the University, as well as talk to students. Among them was Martyna from VIII High School in Gliwice.

(…) I came here because I have liked sport from an early age and it is my passion. (...) In the future, I would like to choose the Silesian University of Technology because of its intriguing faculties and also its location. This event is an opportunity to get to know the campus and students a bit - says Martyna.
