Research Group on Physical Activity and Health Promotion - AFIPS

Description

This research group aims to promote interdisciplinary research on different topics related to physical activity and health. The group's lines of research focus on the study of physical activity patterns in different populations, especially in young people, as well as on the analysis of the correlates and determinants of physical activity behaviour. The research group is also interested in the study of the psychological processes associated with physical practice, as well as in the analysis of physical education and the school environment in the promotion of health.

Goals CT

To analyse physical activity patterns in different populations, and especially in young people, and their relationship to health. Also, to identify the multiple factors that may explain healthy physical activity behaviour and to create an evidence base for future interventions.
