🏃‍♀️ Summer is in full swing, and so is MOVEUP – Je Bouge Pour Ma Forme in Brussels!

Our Belgian project partners have kicked off the summer edition of the programme in Brussels, bringing together people living with type 2 diabetes and other chronic health conditions to enjoy inclusive physical activity in a welcoming and supportive environment.

💙 Hear from previous MOVEUP participants, along with coaches Mia and Sabine from Liège, Belgium, as they share their experiences of the programme. Discover how MOVEUP has helped participants build confidence, improve their wellbeing, make new connections and rediscover the joy of being active. Mia and Sabine were trained through MOVEUP's Train-the-Trainer model and are now supporting others to enjoy the benefits of inclusive physical activity.

In Romania, ASCG and Romanian Football Federation successfully launched training activities with two new groups of older adults living with chronic health conditions (CHC), located in Bucharest's District 2 and District 3. Beyond introducing participants to the MOVEUP project's objectives and expected outcomes,they focused on creating sustainable local communities by identifying suitable sports venues and initiating regular training sessions in walking football, walking basketball, and catchball. 🎯 🏀⚽🏐🚶

These activities represent an important milestone in preparing competitive community teams that will participate in the MOVEUP Tournament during the European Week of Sport 2026.🏆

At the same time, ASCG started developing a network of local trainers capable of delivering these adapted sports safely and effectively to people living with CHC, in line with the project's "train-the-trainers" approach. They also initiated contacts with hospitals, diabetes and hypertension specialists, rehabilitation centres, and other healthcare institutions with the aim of establishing referral pathways and encouraging medical professionals to recommend eligible participants. 🌟

While the response from the healthcare sector has so far been limited, we will continue to strengthen these partnerships, as their involvement is essential for ensuring long-term sustainability, expanding participant recruitment, and promoting an integrated approach that combines physical activity with healthcare support.

MoveUp project: Social inclusion for people with chronic health conditions

Everyone deserves to move, belong, and thrive. 🤗

Walking football, walking basketball, and catchball offer adaptable rules and friendly pacing for all. Enhancing quality of life through physical education: inclusive activities support people with diabetes and hypertension and reflect Erasmus+ priorities.

We underline core sport values—cooperation, respect for rules and values, communication, connections, respect for others, tolerance, teamwork, discipline—to build healthy nutrition behaviors, active lifestyles, and active aging.

We proudly support the European Week of Sport via inclusive events and workshops, integrating new participants into our community.

👉Our literature review on the role of sport and physical activity in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease highlights a clear message: movement matters.
💪Even small increases in physical activity can lead to meaningful improvements in blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and overall well-being.
🏃‍♀️The evidence also points to the added value of resistance training, high-intensity interval training and team sports, especially when programmes are tailored to individual needs. At the same time, understanding the barriers and facilitators to participation is key to making physical activity more accessible and sustainable for all.
