Munich - The AOK health courses are well received by the insured. That is the result of survey by AOK Bayern among more than 2,000 course participants. According to this, three quarters of the participants still implement what they have learned six months later, and good 80 percent of the respondents subjectively rate their course participation as success.
For the survey, 274 courses in the areas of exercise, nutrition and stress management were examined . This includes, for example, Pilates and spinal exercises - which are supposed to help people with back pain. Both courses focus on strengthening and stretching the abdominal and back muscles.

Almost 40 percent said that their health had improved.
