KinderUni: Energy with a difference

Ready for a new term of Munich’s university for Kids, when the „KinderUni München“ returns to TUM? We kick off this term with a really moving lecture by Karsten Köhler, who is a professor for Exercise, Nutrition and Health at the TUM School of Medicine and Health:

Energy with a difference: How much energy do we use during sport and where does this energy actually come from?

Our body constantly consumes energy, especially when we exercise, but also when we sleep. This energy comes from our food, which we first have to digest and then process so that the power stations in each of our body cells can "burn" it. This is called "metabolism". In this lecture, we get to know it better – and discover the forms in which we can utilise energy, the activities for which we need a lot of energy, and why we are particularly hungry when we do a lot of sport.
