objectives
On the one hand, exercise and physical activity are means to get or stay healthy. On the other hand, physical activity, mobility and performance can also be an aim in itself. How can we help older people to remain mobile and independent? And how can we train athletes to become Olympic champions? As a Human Movement Sciences student, you will learn to apply biological knowledge of cells, tissues, organs and entire organisms to address such questions.

aan het woord: studenten en docenten

Lieke
After I graduate I would like to research the relationship between nutrition and performance. A dream job would be to become involved in the national ladies soccer team

I've chosen the track 'Sports and Nutrition' which is exactly what I was looking for. My fellow students all come from very different backgrounds. Some are professional athletes, others work in a health or scientific setting. There are a lot of international students, too, and they bring their own perspective and temperament into the discussion. With PBL you also learn all these leadership and management skills, preparing you for a future career.
