MoMo 2.0 Study
The Motorik-Modul Study (MoMo) originated as a sub-module of the nationwide German health Interview and Exmanination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) of the Robert Koch Institut (RKI) and has been conducted since 2003. As a result of a resolution of the German Bundestag, we are therefore now conducting the study under the name MoMo 2.0 in even more locations in Germany since October 2022. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Health, the aim of MoMo 2.0 is to study the course and development of physical fitness and activity behavior of the population living in Germany over a longer period of time. These results help to improve the health situation in Germany.
