Present your research at the SMHS 2025!

The Sports, Medicine and Health Summit (SMHS) combines sports, sports medicine, health and science. It brings together scientific congresses, such as the congress of the "German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention" (DGSP), the congress of the "European Initiative for Exercise In Medicine" (EIEIM), continuing education events, health policy and popular science events, as well as networking opportunities.

• By submitting an abstract, you agree to have your abstract published in the German Journal of Sports Medicine as submitted.

• All submitted abstracts will be evaluated anonymously by at least two independent reviewers.
• After the review process, submitters will be notified of acceptance or rejection by email in February 2025.
• The number of oral presentations is limited. If a submission cannot be accepted as an oral presentation, a further review will take place considering the submission for a poster presentation or poster gallery with walk-through.
