Nine innovative cardio machines can generate up to 100 watt-hours of energy per workout. This is equivalent to the energy needed to fully charge four to five smartphones. Over the course of a year, users of the equipment will be able to generate several thousand kilowatt hours, which will then be fed back into the university. The cost of around \u20ac100,000 was covered by the University Sports Centre&#8217;s own funds.<\/p>\n<p>New equipment includes a slat-belt treadmill, a 3-in-1 crosstrainer, a bicycle ergometer and a so-called stair climber. Screens in the fitness room show the users how much electricity is currently being generated. They can also use an app to view their own electricity production and start challenges.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75375\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/magazin.tu-braunschweig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/TUBS_2503_ROT_Hochschulsportzentrum_06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75375\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-75375\" src=\"https:\/\/magazin.tu-braunschweig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/TUBS_2503_ROT_Hochschulsportzentrum_06-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TU President Angela Ittel at the inauguration of the new sports equipment.

The high-tech machines have many advantages: they help to make our campus infrastructure even greener. At the same time, they make people aware of the value of energy. Of course, we also hope that the new equipment will motivate even more members of our university to exercise and do sports.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75377\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/magazin.tu-braunschweig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/TUBS_2503_ROT_Hochschulsportzentrum_05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75377\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-75377\" src=\"https:\/\/magazin.tu-braunschweig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/TUBS_2503_ROT_Hochschulsportzentrum_05-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mathias Steiln, Head of the University Sports Centre.
