Physical activity has a preventive and health-promoting effect on the human psyche. The movement arts, as a form of physical activity, are nevertheless scarcely taken into account in current prevention programmes and health promotion offerings, despite the frequently postulated positive effects on the psyche. This book therefore implements the movement art of juggling in the field of prevention and health promotion. This is done, on the one hand, through the conception of a juggling programme for application in prevention and health promotion and, on the other hand, through the evaluation of the juggling programme with regard to the basic cognitive functions of attention and concentration capacity. Within a tripartite study design, cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations as well as a follow-up are conducted in order to capture adaptation phenomena of attention and concentration capacity.
