Medical Technology in Professional Soccer

Top-class, professional soccer demands the highest performance from athletes’ bodies—both in training and in competition. As the years have progressed and skill and competition have augmented, physical demand from athletes has increased exponentially. In addition to an elite running game, professional footballers are also trained to achieve cannon-like kicks of up to 120 kilometers per hour and withstand headers stronger than the punch of a professional boxer.

In this episode, Dr. Yvonne Braun, Director of Global Clinical Marketing Surgery at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by Dr. Jochen Hahne, an orthopedic specialist and team physician, Prof. Dr. Martin Mack, a specialist in diagnostic and interventional radiology and Prof. Dr. Peter Ueblacker, a team physician and specialist in orthopedics and chirotherapy, all of whom work with FC Bayern, the most successful soccer club in German history.

You’ll hear from the doctors who work with FC Bayern about how advances in orthopedics and medical imaging technology allow them to keep players in the game given all of the continuous stresses they’re under.
