ENLIGHT Thematic Network on Physical Education and Childhood Obesity

We are seeking partners for a new Thematic Network focused on physical education and obesity prevention in primary school-aged children, using national-level fitness assessment data and interdisciplinary approaches to intervention.

Tags: Health, Physical Education

Our new collaborative project is aimed at addressing childhood obesity through school-based physical activity strategies. We have access to national physical fitness assessment data from primary schools and are particularly interested in analyzing physical performance among children with obesity and in developing targeted physical education interventions.

We welcome collaboration from ENLIGHT partners with expertise in:

  • Physical education and sport sciences
  • Public health and pediatric obesity
  • School-based intervention design
  • Psychology, behavioral science, and health promotion
  • Data analysis and educational policy

The aim is to co-create a multidisciplinary network that can explore the intersection of physical education, health promotion, and childhood obesity, and contribute to comparative research and best practices across European school systems.

We are especially open to developing a joint research agenda, organizing micro-credential courses or workshops, or student mobility initiatives within the ENLIGHT alliance.
