Living a long, healthy, active life
Can weight loss injections replace exercise? Or is it better to combine the two? New treatments could make it seem attractive to lose weight without strenuous exercise: they will be examined closely at the 13th MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS CONFERENCE. On November 19 and 20, 2025, the conference – an established feature of the leading international medical trade fair MEDICA in Düsseldorf, Germany (held from November 17 – 20) is set to be the hotspot for sports medicine, sports science and interested athletes. At the Congress Center Düsseldorf (CCD Süd), renowned experts will give talks on hotly debated topics. These speakers will include Dr. Kerstin Holze, Vice President of the German Olympic Sports Confederation; bestselling author Thomas Schulz; Prof. Esa Räsänen, Head of the Department of Physics at the University of Tampere in Finland; sports physician Dr. Lutz Graumann and Prof. Yannis Pitsiladis, Chairman of the Scientific Commission of the International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS). The handling of injectable drugs in sports medicine and sports science will be just one of many items on their agenda.

Improving health for a longer life is the topic right at the start of the conference, on November 19 at 1:00 pm. The well-known bestselling author and journalist Thomas Schulz is well connected in the scene and worked in Silicon Valley for a long time. He is dedicated to extending lifespans and will explore these two questions in his lecture: “In what ways are cutting-edge research and high-tech medicine already making one hundred healthy years of life possible – and what must we do to achieve this?”
The focus in Düsseldorf will be on scientifically and technologically sound strategies for a stronger cardiovascular system. Dr. Lutz Graumann will also speak on the subject of health and longevity. He is a recognized expert in the fields of sports medicine, nutritional medicine and chirotherapy – as well as being a longevity specialist. According to him, data points are not only there to fill dashboards, but also to provide meaningful insights into people’s cardiovascular health and performance; “Hand on heart – set up your own plan for a long cardiovascular life” is the title of his presentation at the Sports Medicine Conference at MEDICA 2025.
New scientific findings for the mass market too
Prof. Dr. Esa Räsänen is not only head of the Department of Physics at the University of Tampere, Finland, he is also CEO and co-founder of Moni Cardi. The software developed by Moni Cardi can be integrated into any wearable device, including wristband monitors, bracelets, rings and clothing. It is designed to enable an accurate assessment of various heart conditions based on heart rate alone and to function as a versatile pre-diagnosis tool for effective treatment recommendations – even on the mass market. What Prof. Dr. Räsänen is therefore proposing is a suitable measurement for use after a variable heart rate has been determined.
