Our Focus in Research, Teaching, and Knowledge Transfer

We explore the individual and societal determinants and effects of physical activity, as well as questions relating to the sustainable implementation of health promotion programs involving physical activity across a range of settings, including universities, workplaces, municipalities, and schools. Our work also addresses different target groups, such as children and adolescents, older adults, and men, and examines how educational perspectives can be effectively integrated into school physical education and physical education teacher education.

“We are working on solutions that promote physical activity, improve health, and address social and environmental challenges holistically. Through participatory processes, we aim to empower students and researchers to contribute their own ideas and develop solutions for an active and healthy society through physical activity.”
