It did not matter when it “rained or blew”

The GreenPE project intervention phase has been completed

The intervention phase of the project titled "GreenPE – An Innovative Physical Education Model for Sustainable Personal and Environmental Health" has been completed.

The students who voluntarily participated used only outdoor infrastructure for physical activity during the 2024-25 academic year's regular term, for a period of 13 weeks. Following that, during the exam period, they continued their training at home. The GreenPE experts had previously defined that outdoor training would only be modified to indoor training if the temperature dropped below 0°C, but this situation did not occur during any session of the semester.

This project thus demonstrated that both the University of Pécs Faculty of Sciences' outdoor sports infrastructure and the climate of the city of Pécs are suitable for enabling university citizens to engage in outdoor physical activities year-round, reducing the environmental burden associated with the operation of indoor facilities.

The project was supported by the Visegrad Fund.
