Take part in citizen science research – see how water affects your life!

One of the projects implemented in our region using the citizen science method is ‘Assessment of the impact of the amount of water consumed and types of drinks on the psychophysical condition – Water4Health’. We encourage you to get involved in this initiative by participating in surveys.

The research is conducted in four age groups (adult secondary school students, university students, working adults and seniors) and is intended to check awareness of WHO recommendations regarding the amount of water consumed and the types of drinks consumed, as well as to assess the psychophysical condition of the participants.

The research includes three surveys:

1. Assessment of the impact of the amount of water consumed and types of drinks on psychophysical condition – Water4Health
2. International Physical Activity Questionnaire
3. International Physical Fitness Test

Data collected in surveys will be treated as confidential and will not be analysed individually.

By participating in citizen science project research, you can improve your health awareness and monitor and boost your psychophysical condition, while at the same time contributing to the development of scientific research.

Or maybe you would like to become a local researcher and actively work for the project? Contact us at: Marek.Ples@polsl.pl, using ‘WATER4HEALTH’ as the title of the e-mail.

Detailed information about the ‘Water4Health’ project can be found on the website of the Silesian University of Technology.
