BIG – Movement as investment in health
Project to promote physical activity among women in difficult life situations
Aim of BIG
The aims of BIG are to promote the health of women in difficult life situations, to empower their controle on determinants of their health and to establish community structures for health promotion.
Background of BIG
Various barriers often restrict women in difficult life situations from being sufficiently physically active. Therefore, the BIG-project enables low-threshold exercise opportunities.

Nachuntersuchung des BIG-Projekts (Follow-up of the BIG project)
At the moment, the BIG project is being comprehensively evaluated. Through the follow-up evaluation of BIG “NU-BIG” we want to figure out:
– how BIG is realized at the individual locations
– which behavioral and situational preventive effect can be achieved by BIG
– which factors influence the sustainable implementation of the project
In this way we want to learn more about the sustainable effects and long-term transfer of BIG.
