NEUROSCIENTIST, AUTHOR, LECTURER
Dr. Julia Christensen

Mind the gap - brain and dance
Habits are programmes in our brain that run automatically. But can we reprogramme them and use our time wisely so that it motivates us - or our clients - and helps us move forward?
Julia Christensen uses the work of professional dancers to show how we can understand these processes and thus have the chance to change them positively. We can learn from dancers. A ballet pirouette has more to do with your everyday life than you might imagine. Let Julia's dancer knowledge and the latest neuroscientific findings move you to mentally pirouette. In this way, you will become fit for the digital world of tomorrow with yesterday's analogue habits.
Vita
Dr. Julia F. Christensen began professional dance training after leaving school. An accident forced her to end her dance career. Instead, she made dance her research focus as a neuroscientist.
Julia Christensen studied psychology and neuroscience in Spain, France and England and earned her PhD at the University of the Balearic Islands. Since 2019, she has been at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt a.M.
Born in Denmark, she is now at home all over Europe, speaks six languages fluently and is considered THE expert when it comes to the brain and dance. Together with her colleague, Dr Dong-Seon Chang, she published the book "Dancing is the best medicine. Why it makes us healthier, smarter and happier".
Her lectures are entertaining, tailor-made and wonderfully suitable even for those who don't dance!

SPORTS SCIENTIST, MASTER COACH NEUROCENTRED TRAINING, MARTIAL ARTIST, AUTHOR
Kevin Grafen

Injury prevention and pain reduction thanks to brainstem activation
But why is that? The problem could lie in the formatio reticularis in the brain stem. This has the task of reducing pain on the same side and provides reflexive stability. If the formatio reticularis does not fulfil its function, pain and injury will result. You will learn how to train and address the formatio reticularis in this workshop by Kevin.
Vita
Kevin grew up in the martial art of karate and, as a holder of the second DAN degree, offers training courses in the field of neuro-centred training for the German Karate Association. He is also active as a lecturer for other sports associations, therapy facilities and companies.
As the sports science manager of a health centre, Kevin works with patients in the therapeutic and rehabilitative fields and trains with competitive athletes from various sports.
Kevin is the author of the book Neuronal Training with Fitness Groups (Meyer & Meyer Verlag) as well as various professional articles on the topic of neuro-centred training and therapy.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, NEUROPERFORMANCE TRAINER
Susann Conrad

Neuro-centred training in neurological rehabilitation
Occupational therapy means making everyday life possible. Neurological rehabilitation is about initiating and optimising movement and transferring it into everyday life.
In this workshop, Susann will show you which requirements have to be met for movements and how the approach of neuro-centred training can be used. Susann will focus on neurological diseases such as stroke and Parkinson's disease.

NEUROATHLETICS TRAINER, EX. COMPETITIVE ATHLETE
Tina Nguyen

Neurocentric strength training
In this workshop, Tina shows you how to effectively combine neuro exercises with traditional strength exercises. Through fun and effective neuro exercises, you will see how perceived exertion decreases and power output increases when you improve reflexive stability using the vestibulocollicular reflex (VCR) and targeting the vermis (cerebellum).
Tina will also show you how to optimise the use of bilateral exercises such as barbell movements, pull-ups and push-ups by targeting specific pathways in the cerebellum (cortico-ponto and cortico-olivo-cerebellar pathways).
Take your strength training and that of your clients to the next level!
Vita
Tina is a former competitive athlete in volleyball, weightlifting and CrossFit. Born in Canada, she founded her fitness studio Black Box Athletics in Cologne in 2013 and leads it as managing director and head trainer.
After being exposed to neuro-athletics as an athlete and experiencing the outstanding results in her own training, Tina began her Z-Health studies with Dr. Eric Cobb in 2014. Since then, Tina sees and lives exercise and sport from a neurological perspective and incorporates her diverse experiences when successfully coaching professional athletes as well as clients with health issues.
Tina has developed the neurofunctional training concept Kraftletics, which integrates neurocentric exercises into functional training for small groups. She has mastered the art of creating varied Kraftletics training programmes that seamlessly integrate neurocentric approaches into conventional functional training. The intelligent training design offers intensive workouts in a playful atmosphere.

Anders Olsson

Understanding the true power of our breath - Why carbon dioxide is the key to efficient oxygenation
When it comes to breathing there is a lot of focus on oxygen. From one perspective it makes a lot of sense since we are so extremely dependent on oxygen. However, too much oxygen is not good as it is also very reactive and thereby toxic. This is the reason why we store so little oxygen in our body, so that we can only survive for a few minutes without breathing.
What is not commonly understood is the importance of carbon dioxide, and most medical textbooks refer to it mainly as a simple waste product. Nothing could be further from the truth. Carbon dioxide is just as important as oxygen. The hallmarks in our society, stress and inactivity, reduces carbon dioxide in our body.
With each inhale and exhale you’ll affect your nervous system. Your breathing habits set the stage for all other rhythms in your body, from heart and brain to digestion and sleep. In this talk Anders will share some simple yet powerful tools and insights to increase your tolerance for carbon dioxide and restore a healthy balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Vita
Anders Olsson is an author, lecturer, teacher, inventor and founder of the Conscious Breathing Concept.
After living most of his life with a ”hurricane of thoughts” bouncing back and forth in is head, Anders was fortunate enough to come across tools that have helped him relax and find his inner calm. The most powerful of these tools has undoubtedly been to improve his breathing habits, which made Anders decide to become the world’s most prominent expert in breathing.
This is now more than 10 years ago and since then he has helped tens of thousands of people to better health and improved quality of life. In 2018 Anders facilitated and participated in a groundbreaking three-week breathing study at Stanford, USA.

Niko Romm

Neuro-athletics in professional sport
What is the difference between working with the nervous system of professional athletes and working with "normal" people? What can we learn from the work in professional sport in relation to the "everyday athlete"?
Pure testing of all cranial nerves is one of the basics of working as a neuro-athletic trainer. However, neuroathletic training content must go beyond improving isolated functions in order to really improve control problems and enable a transfer to sport in the long term.
In Niko's practice-oriented workshop, you will learn valuable practical knowledge from working with professional footballers. Position-specific work will be addressed as well as stacking of inputs, active contractile mapping and multi-dimensional mapping of end-grade joint movements under load (EROM Loaded Joint Mapping).

Kognitiv-Motorisches Training mit ROX
Du willst Wahrnehmung, Entscheidungsfindung, Agilität und Reaktionsschnelligkeit effektiv und mit Spaß trainieren? Dann ist dieser Workshop perfekt für dich!
Kognitives motorisches Training kombiniert körperliche Aktivität mit kognitiver Stimulation. Es hat in den letzten Jahren erheblich an Anerkennung für seine signifikanten Vorteile für das Training vom Spitzensportler bis zum Parkinson Patienten gewonnen.
Diese Art des multisensorischen Trainings verbessert nicht nur die körperliche Fitness, sondern auch die kognitive Funktion und das Zusammenspiel von "Kopf und Körper”. Zufällige, externe Reize in Form von Licht, Ton und Vibration triggern einen ganzheitlichen Trainingsprozess nach dem Konzept WAHRNEHMEN - VERARBEITEN - REAGIEREN. So können reale Spiel- und Alltagssituation repliziert werden. Es gibt immer mehr Belege für die positiven Auswirkungen des kognitiven Motoriktrainings, so dass es mittlerweile unumstritten ist, dass die Integration in das Training zu einer Verbesserung der allgemeinen Gesundheit, der Performance und des Wohlbefindens führen kann.
Das smarte ROX-System erkennt Bewegungen wie Tippen, Schütteln, Balancieren oder Kippen. Durch Licht, Ton und Vibration werden alle Sinne angeregt. Die Signale werden via Bluetooth mit der kostenfreien A-CHAMPS ROX PRO App gesteuert. Die ROXPro X sind zudem mit einem Lasersystem ausgestattet, sodass berührungslos trainiert werden kann.
In Kombination mit der neuen LED-Anzeige (Buchstaben, Zahlen, Symbole) hast du so unendlich viele Trainingsmöglichkeiten. Kilian zeigt dir, wie es geht!
Vita
Kilian ist ein in Barcelona basierter Entrepreneur und Gründer des Start-Ups A-Champs. A-Champs' Mission ist es, Menschen zu helfen ihr volles Potential auszuschöpfen. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Spitzensportler, sondern auch um Menschen mit neurologischen Beeinträchtigungen durch Parkinson, Schlaganfall etc.
Kilian hat seine Karriere bei der Metro Gruppe begonnen und hat im Jahre 2008 seine erste Produktentwicklungs- und Sourcing Firma in Shanghai gegründet.
Nachdem bei seiner Frau vor einigen Jahren Brustkrebs diagnostiziert wurde, wurde ihm auf die harte Tour klar, dass Gesundheit ein Geschenk ist.
Seitdem hat er es sich zum Ziel gemacht anderen Menschen zu helfen, die geistige und körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit zu steigern. Um dies zu erreichen, haben Kilian und das A-Champs Team ein interaktives Trainingssystem entwickelt, das zur Zeit international für Furore sorgt.

Neuroathletics in physiotherapy - insights from everyday practice on working with competitive athletes to rock musicians
Martin introduces you to why, in his view, neuroathletics is an indispensable part of the physiotherapist's daily work and which simple assessments can be immediately integrated into everyday treatment. Eye movement instead of wobble board? Perforated glasses instead of neck massage? Active treatment options instead of passive "hands on" therapy?
In this workshop you can combine your acquired (physiotherapeutic) knowledge with neuroathletic exercises and increase treatment success and treatment creativity. Not only interesting for physiotherapists.
Vita
Martin is one of the first physiotherapists in Germany to be certified as a Z-Health® Trainer Specialist in the field of neuroathletics.
Martin Teichmann was active for four years as a physiotherapist in professional sport with the Telekom Baskets Bonn (Basketball Bundesliga).

DIPL. PSYCHOLOGIST, HEAD OF BLICKLABOR FREIBURG
Dr. Mireille Trautmann

The role of visual processing in visuomotor function - Neuroscientific findings
Motor processes are closely linked to visual processing. Optimal reception and reliable processing of sensory information is necessary for conscious perception. Only when visual information is processed efficiently and corresponds with the corresponding motor processes is the best possible visuomotor function possible.
Dr. Trautmann will introduce you to the world of visuomotor function and the importance of fixation, reflexive gaze jumps and voluntary gaze control. In addition to an introduction to the necessary diagnostics, she will provide an insight into neuroscientific findings and their significance for learning or relearning motor processes.
