This year, the University of Basel was once again present at five regional markets in the canton of Basel-Landschaft with its "Uni am Markt" project to present current research projects. Under the motto "Creating knowledge to keep us healthy", research groups from the Department of Sport, Exercise and Health (DSBG) were also involved this time – including the INCLUDE team.

With our lifelike mannequin “Mansgoggel”, we were able to clearly demonstrate at the university’s stand which devices a test person carries with them during a walk as part of our study and which measurements we take with them. Interested visitors received further information about the study via posters and flyers as well as in direct conversation with the researchers.

We also conducted a survey to gather initial opinions from market visitors on the topic of "environmental pollution and sport". Exciting discussions and questions led to a lively exchange with many interested parties.

In addition to INCLUDE, the topic of muscle loss in old age was also addressed. With the help of a hand grip strength test, visitors could measure their own muscle strength and obtain information about their current strength level.

All in all, it was a very successful event. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the University of Basel – in particular Hans Syfrig Fongione from the Marketing & Event team – for the invitation and the opportunity to participate and present our research projects to a wide audience in the Basel area.
