MoMo 2.0 Study

Physical fitness and physical activity as determinants of health development in children and adolescents in Germany

The Motorik-Modul Study (MoMo) originated as a sub-module of the nationwide German health Interview and Exmanination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) of the Robert Koch Institut (RKI) and has been conducted since 2003. As a result of a resolution of the German Bundestag, we are therefore now conducting the study under the name MoMo 2.0 in even more locations in Germany since October 2022. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Health, the aim of MoMo 2.0 is to study the course and development of physical fitness and activity behavior of the population living in Germany over a longer period of time. These results help to improve the health situation in Germany.

MoMo-Schulung_2.jpgHeinisch
Neue MoMo-Testleiter*innen sind bereit

Die MoMo 2.0-Studie des Instituts für Bewegungs-erziehung und Sport, in Kooperation mit dem KIT und den Verbundpartnern Universität Konstanz und Humboldt-Universität Berlin, startet im September 2023 in eine neue Erhebungswelle. Aus diesem Grund fand im Juli die erste MoMo-Testleitungsschulung statt, an der 15 Studierende teilgenommen haben. Da zu einer Testfahrt aber nicht nur das Testen der Proband*innen dazu gehört, sondern auch sehr viel Organisation, erhielten die Teilnehmenden viele Informationen rund um eine MoMo-Testfahrt. Gut vorbereitet können nun die ersten Testleiter*innen Kinder und Jugendliche im Alter von 4-17 Jahren u.a. in München und Kiel, Budesheim und Schmittshausen testen. Gefördert wird die MoMo 2.0-Studie seit 2022 vom Bundesministerium für Gesundheit.
