adh and Sport-Thieme: Moving Campus Life Together

A decade of partnership

With over 200 universities, approximately 2.5 million students, and 550,000 staff members, adh is committed to developing university sports. Operating at the intersection of sports and education, the organization plays an active role in shaping organized sports on both national and international levels.

Pausenexpress – bringing movement to the workplace

One initiative where Sport-Thieme is directly involved through the supply of sports equipment is Pausenexpress, an award-winning exercise program designed to promote workplace health. Offered at around 40 sports universities across Germany, this 15-minute low-threshold activity is integrated into the workday to encourage healthy habits. And here’s an exciting addition: Some universities now offer a Studi-Pausenexpress, tailored specifically to students’ needs.
