The Challenge of Change

The issue of major inactivity of people in the Arab region and the question on how to motivate for more physical activity was one of the major issues discussed at an international sport science conference held 4 - 7 November 2014 in Amman, Jordan.

The Faculty of Physical Education at the University of Jordan, in collaboration with the Institute of Sport Science of the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany, had invited scientists, scholars, re-searchers, experts and leaders from around the world to share ideas, knowledge, expertise and research results in sport science and physical education. The event was financially supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
