Does the environment affect my training performance?
What influence do colors and nature have on well-being and athletic performance?
Dr.
Linda Schücker teaches at the University of Münster and is a long-distance triathlete herself.
In the WELT interview, the sports psychologist explains the differences between running in nature and on the treadmill and reveals what to look out for in both disciplines.
WORLD:
What are the fundamental differences?
Linda Schücker:
First of all, of course, in the changed environment.
Outside I have fresh air and nature.
With the treadmill I always stay in the same room, which also means a certain visual monotony.
That makes it hard to keep the external focus high.
WORLD:
What does that mean?
