BristolMoves+
Our primary aim for Bristol Moves+ is to support individuals with lower activity levels to be more active, more often, to improve physical and mental wellbeing.
The University licenses Moves+ from a thirdparty app developer, OpenPlay. The app is available for Apple and Android devices.
The University’s Sport, Exercise & Health Division launched Moves+ to students and staff for a Pilot Year in October 2022.
Bristol has joined a collective of UK Universities already successfully using Moves+, including Kings College London, Nottingham & Surrey.
