Physical Activity Promotion, Exercise Therapy, Rehabilitation Science, Interdisciplinary Human Movement Science and Training Science The Physical Activity and Health Division addresses questions of physical activity promotion within the spectrum of individual physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) and the capabilities of health promotion in certain settings. For example, the research focuses on interventions for motor control and motor learning in people with health conditions, or on possibilities for initiating physically active lifestyles in exercise therapy (also using digital technologies). Furthermore, new ways for sustainable and structurally anchored physical activity promotion are developed, e.g. in vocational education or health care, using participatory approaches.
