| Description | Overweight and obesity are risk factors for future lifestyle in society. Factors that motivate people to be physically active need to be more observed and validated. Environment study and physical activity monitoring are used to effectively gather data on trends in PA in different regions of the Czech Republic. Methods created in the Center for Kinanthropology Research in Olomouc are used in all regional universities across the Czech Republic. Effectiveness of the methods is based on intensive students cooperation in the research as distributors of surveys. The long term goal of the research is to prepare cornerstone data for Ministries of Education and Health so that necessary strategies against increasing overweight and obesity in population could be developed. The application of these smaller projects has verified that the team is ready to meet the requirements of the submitted NIH grant in full range. |
