      Dealing with best practice issues related to the development, implementation and evaluation of physical education and other PA initiatives targeting special populations (e.g. playschoolchildren, ethnic and obese children) the program focuses on:  - The academic rationale for the inclusion of sport, exercise, fitness and related health issues in the public health domain - State-of-the-art scientific data on the physiological, epidemiological, psychological, sociological and social factors underpining ‘best practice’ issues in children’s participation in PA and sport - Methodological, ethical and practical issues which underpin scientific investigation and intervention in the field of child health and PA. - Opportunities for students to obtain a European perspective on the general topic, and offer them tools to evaluate how policy issues differ between countries. - An international, multi-disciplinary approach will be adopted.

      On behalf Prestar, a consultancy company focused on assisting clients in the process of lifestyle change, and the Martini Hospital Groningen I designed a exercise intervention for OSA patients. I used the Sleep Apnea Quality Score (SAQS) for this intervention. The SAQS is a questionnaire that analyses quality of life for OSA patients. Right now I am doing research about the SAQS (validity, reliability and other features). Besides this research, I develop an online interactive profiling of an exercise intervention for OSA patients. This profiling is specially designed for other professionals. Show less
