Weight loss injections instead of exercise? Or perhaps injections and exercise? New therapies could make it appealing to lose weight without strenuous exercise. They will be examined closely at the 13th MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS CONFERENCE. On 19 and 20 November 2025, the conference will be part of the MEDICA 2025 programme (17–20 November) and the ‘hotspot’ for sports medicine and sports science. Renowned experts will give presentations on currently hotly debated topics at the Congress Centre Düsseldorf (CCD South). These include Dr Kerstin Holze, Vice-President of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, bestselling author Thomas Schulz and Prof. Yannis Pitsiladis, Chairman of the Scientific Commission of the International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS). The agenda will cover not only the use of injectable drugs in sports medicine and science, but also strategies for a long life and the use of technology to improve performance and prevent injuries. The conference is aimed exclusively at a specialist audience.
