“INDEEP” - Intervention on the determinants of and expertise in physical activity behaviours
Description
- INDEEP seeks to generate excellence in research and training, providing future graduates that can advance the state-of-the-art in physical activity promotion, through a comprehensive understanding of the determinants associated with physical activity behaviours, innovative methodologies, and data analytics. The network ultimately will provide a toolbox for the development of evidence-based interventions that supports co-creation and considers interactions within this complex behavioral system.
These goals are achieved by expanding our knowledge of:
i) Determinants of physical activity behavior (and their interrelationships);
ii) The variance of sensor-measured data that can be explained by determinants;
iii) How multi-level and multidisciplinary determinants can be measured using innovative, standardized methods.
BIPS contributes by exploring interpersonal determinants of adolescent physical activity behavior. Together with the Bremer Sportjugend (Bremen Sports Youth Organization), strategies will be developed to incorporate interpersonal factors into its activities.
As a practical partner, the Bremer Sportjugend facilitates to transfer the new knowledge about interpersonal determinants into practical application through co-creation. Ultimately, these practical applications are will be integrated into programs for promoting physical activity among youth.
