We’re looking forward to a sporty summer. The season started with the European Football Championship and continues with the Tour de France, Wimbledon and the Olympic Games. At VU Amsterdam, we’re getting involved! What do our top athletes have in store? And what do VU Amsterdam’s scientists say about the importance of sport and exercise?
At Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, students put their best foot forward. In the Human Performance Lab, they’re preparing to go for gold in Paris. In recent months, they’ve combined their studies with sports, guided by a dedicated VU Amsterdam team of coaches and researchers. Whether it’s cycling, rowing or hockey, our students deliver a top performance no matter what.
Meanwhile, scientists at VU Amsterdam are focusing on social issues surrounding sport and exercise. How do we get the Netherlands moving? Is it okay to lose sometimes? And what about the financial world behind the sport? On this page you’ll find the latest news, inspiring stories and upcoming events from the VU Amsterdam community.
