Many thanks to our colleagues for providing us with the opportunity to discuss our concerns, challendges and expectations regarding #PhysicalActivity monitoring. We look forward to continuing our collaboration.

If you are attending #MoveCongress by ISCA, don't miss our co-director Karim Abu-Omar's presentations on the links between #sport and #planetaryhealth

Back at work after an intensive week in #Ireland with workshops and presentations at #EPH2023 in #Dublin and Physical Activity for Health Research Centre @UL in #Limerick! What a fantastic opportunity to discuss about #physicalactivity policies, and to learn more from other #publichealth scientists and professionals

Check our new publication where we mapped existing approaches of #physicalactivity #policy monitoring and analysed methodological aspects, especially with regards to the roles of governments and researchers …alth-policy-systems.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The concept of physical literacy (PL) has strongly influenced #physicalactivity research & policy, but has yet to include a planetary health focus. This commentary calls for the elaboration of an "ecological domain" of PL for physically active lifestyles 🔗doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2…

Last week we attended the European Union's Physical Activity Focal Points Network meeting. We were happy to present our recent research and to support WHO/Europe in facilitating a workshop for representatives of EU member states. #physicalactivity #PublicHealth

Since last year, our team has been working with a computer scientist on optimizing travel distances in sports that will help reduce CO2 emissions, time and costs. Read more about our collaboration with the American Football Verband Hessen on our website who-cc.sport.fau.eu

We are happy to announce our participation in six symposiums at this year's HEPA conference. #PhysicalActivity #ActiveTransport #PlanetaryHealth #HumanRights #PhysicalActivityPolicy Don't miss out on early bird registration, and we look forward to seeing you in Dublin!

We are glad that three colleagues from France visited us for an exchange about #physicalactivity and #health last week. Besides presenting their current research to FAU staff and PhD students, the visit focused on a BayFrance funded project on local physical activity policies

WHO latest report shows 1/3 adults (1.8 billion) do not meet recommended levels of physical activity - this increases risk of NCDs. Wake up call for more action & investment in PA. Read more in Lancet Global Health tinyurl.com/39ysuhx6

We are delighted to announce that the Co-Director of our Collaborating Centre, Karim Abu-Omar, has been invited to join the Journal of Physical Activity and Health as a Senior Assistant Editor

We are glad to have contributed to Sven Schneider's book on #climatechange as a health risk. It features 45 chapters from leading German experts. Our chapter discusses the negative impact of #sports on the #climate and how transforming the sport sector can reduce this impact.

🚨 The HEPA Conference is getting closer and closer! Check out the attached pictures to see what sessions we have organized or will be participating in. See you soon in Dublin! #hepa2024 #PhysicalActivity #PhysicalActivityPromotion #PhysicalActivityPolicy

We spent three amazing days at the HEPA Europe conference! Thanks to all colleagues for the intensive knowledge exchange and interesting discussions and to the organizers for the nice atmosphere! See you all at #heppa2025

Excited to announce that our commentary is now published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health!
