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. For 20 years, the MoMo data has formed a unique basis for evidence-based health policy action and health policy decisions. In view of current developments (including the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalisation, social inequality and migration), a continuation of the study is of great scientific and social relevance. 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 and to analyze it against the backdrop of current social events.

The Motorik-Module study assessment consists of anthropometric measurements, recording activity behavior using questionnaires, conducting fitness tests, and a health interview. Selected participants receive an accelerometer to record the duration and intensity of their physical behavior over a week.
