Cardiac sports group

Considerations for the establishment of a heart sports group on Sylt within the TSV-Westerland e.V. were already made in 1987 by the club management.

Due to the provision of the indispensable conditions for their operation, this heart group was finally able to start its work on June 22, 1989. Preconditions:

• Training of a professionally licensed transferor
• Recruitment of a supervising physician
• Acquisition of technical equipment

In a letter dated 27.07.1989, the then Disabled and Disabled Sports Association Schleswig-Holstein e.V. certified to the club that all the requirements required in the overall agreement on outpatient disabled sports of 01.07.1981 were met:

• Guidance by a trained instructor,
• medical care
• technical equipment (defibrillator and emergency kit)

The heart sports group is the only institution of its kind on Sylt and accordingly receives encouragement from almost all island towns.

Due to their size and the different performance characteristics of the patients, the exercise operation is carried out in two groups. The practice hours and location are highlighted in red on the page of the gymnastics division.

Today, this group is affiliated with one of over 200 recognized cardiac sports groups in Schleswig-Holstein and the Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Herz und Kreislauf in Schleswig-Holstein e.V. (LAG).
