Behaviour Change, Health, and Well-Being across the Lifespan (BC-Well) webinar held on Friday May 5 2021 is available online. This profiling area is a joint effort between the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences and the Faculty of Education and Psychology. The webinar introduces the four thematic focus areas of BC-Well, with four keynote speakers (Martin Hagger, Joni Kettunen [no recording], Antonio Terracciano [beginning of the presantion video is missing], and Wolfgang Tschacher) who represent the international leading expertise in these research fields.

Access code = motivation
28.4.2020. The University of Jyväskylä Board decided the new University’s profiling areas, i.e. the research areas that the University seeks to strengthen in order to implement its strategy. JyU proposes four multidisciplinary profiling areas defined on the basis of the focus areas of strategy and research. One of them is: The behaviour change, physical activity, and well-being across the lifespan (BC-Well). The University is committed to these profiling areas and applies for funding for these, in total 13.6 million euros for the profiling period 2021–2026. In addition to the Academy of Finland’s funding, the University supports the profiling areas by directing funding for doctoral education and the development of research infrastructures. Director of the BC-Well profiling area is professor Taru Lintunen and the co-directors are FiDiPro Martin S. Hagger, Professor Juha Holma (Faculty of Education and Psychology), and director Tiina Parviainen (Jyväskylä Centre for Interdisciplinary Brain Research).

13.4.2017. Finnish Ministy of Education and Culture finances our research project Using Physical Education to Promote out-of-School Physical Activity in Lower Secondary School Students: A Randomized Controlled Intervention Based on Behavioural Theory between 2017 - 2019.
IMPAct - Increasing Motivation for Physical Activity is a collaborative multi-national research initiative funded by the Business Finland aimed at promoting motivation toward, and participation in, physical activity. The global objective of the project is to develop a new, innovative, motivational theoretical model of health behaviour, produce evidence-based materials to promote physical activity, and to develop a new measure of physical activity in group settings.
The project is led by Professor Martin S. Hagger and Professor Taru Lintunen. Research group consists of the experts in the fields of social and health sciences (health psychology, behavioural medicine, exercise psychology, physical activity, public health, and health promotion) and a consortium of partner organizations whose mission is to promote physical activity. The project headquarters is based in the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
