Vitaliteit

Staff Vitality Survey

Welcome to this anonymous survey that has been created to gain insight into the exercise habits and needs of Leiden University staff. Your participation takes about 5 minutes, and if you wish, you have a chance to win a year's subscription at the University Sports Centre (USC).

In this survey, we define exercise as any form of physical activity, including but not limited to, traditional sports, recreational pursuits, body & mind activities, and even brisk walks. Physical exertion, fun and personal goals are key to what we define as exercise.

Your participation helps us to better understand how we, as a university community, can contribute to your well-being and exercise experience. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey.
