Kitz Sports Experience

In the summer of 2009, Kitzbühel, a city known for its extensive selection of athletic activities, got another boost. "Kitz Sports Experience" is a unique selection of athletic activities. The programme made its debut in May and June of 2009 and encouraged locals and visitors to exercise. The programme's main goal was to encourage beginners and recreational athletes to participate in sports-related activities. The focus was on outdoor exercise such as running, nordic walking and swimming, complemented by specialized presentations by a team of experts.

"We do not want people to throw in the towel after their first attempt of living an athletic life. Rather, any such attempt should be an inspiration and allow people to see results". This is how Ludwig Schlechter of Kitzsport describes his mission. To achieve this goal, he has put together a team of experts who provide theoretical background information and real-world advice.

During the months of May and June 2009, "Kitz Sports Experience" offered a unique selection of services. It included learning and expanding one's knowledge about running and nordic walking as well as training consulting provided by sport scientist Heinz Bede-Kraut and sessions with physical therapist Andrea Salvenmoser.

Interesting presentations about a variety of topics including training management, motivation, nutrition and "healthy locomotor system" rounded off the programme.
