We know that involvement in using mobile phones can distract adolescents from being physically active (Kenneth et al., 2015). 📱 That’s why one of our project aims is to activate adolescents to play with others via Move4fun app. 👩🧑‍🦰🚴‍♀️

Biddle et al. (2021) and Jensen & LeBlanc (2010) stressed out that regular physical activity has been shown to be associated with improved bone mineral diversity, aerobic fitness, muscular strength, cardiovascular risk factor reduction, mental health and quality of life. 💪🫀🧠

One of the project objectives is to create a program with exercises, games and activities to improve levels of PA among adolescents. 🤸‍♂️ To support our aim, Stiglbauer et al. (2019) found out that mobile applications can be supporting effectiveness of fitness program. 📱

Move4fun project contains several objectives that are crucial to implement. That's why the easiest way to get familiar with what we are doing is to watch something fun! See the promotional video and get familiar with our project! #move4fun #erasmusplus #FoundedByTheEuropenUnion

A good plan of work is a way to reach a goal! ✅ For reaching our objectives, we have planned several steps (Work Packages) in order to spread out our project. Right now, we are fully absorbed in the Work Package 2 which focus on Research & Need Analysis. 🤓🧑‍🏫 Let's have fun!

One of the project's aim is to promote physical activity among adolescents 🏃‍♂️ So why don't make it fun? 🎮🏊‍♀️ Research shows that having fun may be crucial for being involved in PA.
