Strategic Focus
To contribute to the development of physical activity for health in Colombia and the world through high quality and relevant research. These are some of its research areas and topics: physical conditioning for health, physical activity and sedentariness, healthy aging, and validation of instruments for the evaluation of physical activity. AFIS is a research group committed to high quality scientific development and social relevance. It aims to contribute to the resolution of health problems in different population groups through physical activity.
Research Areas and Topics
- Physical conditioning for health.
- Physical activity and sedentariness.
- Healthy Aging.
- Validation of instruments for the evaluation of physical activity.
