MOVE 2025: MOVE FOR HEALTH 1.0 and 2.0 research transfer - focus on social inequality

Science module as part of MOVE FOR HEALTH 3.0
Together with Prof. Dr. Dennis Dreisk?mper (TU Dortmund), the quantitative data from MOVE FOR HEALTH 1.0 and 2.0 will be evaluated in more detail with a focus on social inequality and the results will be transferred into practice. Two colleagues (University of Lüneburg, DSHS Cologne) will also evaluate qualitative data.
The scientific modules from MOVE FOR HEALTH 2023 and 2024 have made a significant and successful contribution
to highlighting the far-reaching potential of exercise, play and sport and sports club membership for the mental and physical health and participation of young people. In the cross-sectional study (MOVE 2023), this potential was recognized and partially confirmed in the longitudinal study (MOVE 2024). Various settings were analyzed, such as joint sports activities in a club, but also all-day or informal sports. Thus, the latest research data from MOVE
FOR HEALTH 1.0 and 2.0, some of which have already been published (e.g. Dreisk?mper et al., 2023; 2024, 2025; Burrmann et al., 2024, 2025).
Nevertheless, a large amount of data has not yet been sufficiently analyzed. In particular, with regard to the
social inequality and longitudinal developments, there is great potential. In addition, the qualitative data from 2023 can be linked with the quantitative data from 2023 and 2024, and valuable insights for practice can be gained from this. The in-depth analysis of the data should serve to strengthen the transfer of theory into practice with the member organizations of the dsj in general and the future labs in particular. Through the analysis and the scientific as well as practice-oriented publication of the data, the findings of the MOVE FOR HEALTH studies on the understanding of
predictors of sporting behavior and their mechanisms of action (especially with regard to the social inequality of children and adolescents) can be transferred into practice.
