Life

After graduating from high school in 1961, Jung studied at the universities of Freiburg , Berlin , Vienna and Hamburg , where he received his doctorate in 1967 on a cardiological topic. Before Jung completed his habilitation in sports medicine in Münster in 1977 and received the venia legendi , in 1969 he served as a doctor in the Aviation Medicine Institute of the Air Force in Fürstenfeldbruck , completed specialist training in internal medicine in Hamburg and worked at the Sports Medicine Institute of the University of Münster .

During a year-long activity at the Timmendorfer Curschmann Clinic, he was able to apply the knowledge he had learned in Israel about the rehabilitation of heart attack patients and founded his first cardiac sports group there in 1972. In 1982, Jung took over the management of the sports medicine department at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, which in 1997 was renamed the "Department of Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation and Prevention " and headed it until his retirement. Jung developed the major “Prevention and Rehabilitation” and trained around 400 students.

In the research area, the focus was on long-distance running , nutrition, oxygen therapy, prevention and rehabilitation as well as wine and health. After his own further training as a doctor for naturopathic treatment , Jung took on the training and further education of doctors for the Central Association of Doctors for Naturopathic Treatment in Freudenstadt and Baden-Baden.

In addition to this full-time job, Jung was a board member of the German Wine Academy in Mainz, is a board member of the International Prevention Organization and a founding member of the Forum for Wine and Health. Jung has given numerous lectures, published 600 articles and written over 100 books and book chapters. Most of his work deals with topics from the field of sports medicine and nutrition as well as endurance sports and sports therapy. Since 2006, Jung has devoted himself in particular to the naturopathic methods of complementary medicine in the sense of prevention, rehabilitation and therapy of chronic diseases and, against this background, also examined oxygen therapies for their possible application in diagnoses such as burnout syndrome , sleep disorders , COPD and disorders of energy metabolism. His focus was on so-called spirovital therapy as a holistic therapy and prevention method . Jung was the publisher and editor-in-chief of the magazines Sport und Medizin and Arzt und Sport .
