Sport and exercise

Centre of Excellence for Sport and Physical Activity

Exercise is both fun and healthy. Getting plenty of varied exercise has beneficial effects on the health of children and young people and ensures that children are much more physically active and fitter, both now and certainly later in life.

School is an environment that offers a wealth of opportunities for children to engage in sufficient, varied and beneficial physical activity. It is a place where all children go and where they spend a large part of their day. Why should we focus on encouraging more physical activity in and around school? And how can we go about it? Read more about it in this tipsheet on the website of the Knowledge Centre for Sport and Physical Activity.

You can exercise anytime, anywhere

Cycling to school, a daily Daily Mile, climbing on the playground or playing football in the local square. Children can often try out sports for free at local sports clubs too. Physical activity is part of a healthy childhood in a healthy environment. The ‘Gratis Bewegen’ initiative challenges children and young people to see their surroundings as one big playground.
