A Visit to University of Basel

GEElab Europe sent Steffen P Walz, Jussi Holopainen and Peter Klement out to the University of Basel Department of Prevention and Sport Medicine to explore technologies in health exercise and fitness.

Chief clinician Prof. Dr. Arno Schmidt-Trucksäss led the full day workshop with GEElab taking part in a balance test, a can-you-walk-6-meters-in-10-seconds-test and a cycling fitness challenge which Peter (pictured) described as "really testing our limits".

The intentions of the lab's visit was to keep abreast of current ways to test fitness and consider their useful applications in a game environment. The results will be shared with both Melbourne and Karlsruhe students.
