Project Description
FIT FIRST is a contemporary sports-based movement programme developed by Prof. Peter Krustrup and his research group to promote physical activity, fitness and well-being for children and youth in Danish schools (https://www.dif.dk/radgivning-og-stotte/mere-idraet-i-folkeskolen/fit-first). In a close collaboration between researchers, schools and sporting organizations, hundreds of lessons have been co-created using modified drills and games from 23 sports to offer fun, social, intense and impactful physical education for all, also children from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. In this project, the FIT FIRST programme will be expanded to cover the full school curriculum. A number of other methodological innovations will be tested in a series of studies. The PhD student will work under the supervision of Prof. Ntoumanis and his colleagues to augment the motivation and behaviour change aspects of FIT FIRST. The student will also work with other PhD students, postdocs and research assistants to collect various types of data related to the evaluation of FIT FIRST.
