The Physical Activity Research Group of the Fontys Institute of Human Movement and Sports focuses on the connection between physical activity and health. There are two main research themes:

• The role of physical education in promoting an active lifestyle in children and adolescents,
• Exercise guidelines and - programmes for disease prevention (primary, secondary and tertiary prevention).

We carry out research projects in this area and advise our institute on curriculum development and course content. We strive to be a centre of expertise for professionals and organisations in the broad field of sports and movement in the Netherlands.
