Faculty of Physical Education and Sport is one the youngest faculties of Charles University - it has been a part of it since 1959. Its goal is to build a community that shares and promotes the ideas of a sustainable and healthy lifestyle for every individual at every age, of which physical and sporting activities are an integral part.

Our activities involve members of all gender groups, all generations - from children to the elderly - and all parts of society - top athletes, the general population to people with physical or other disabilities.

The faculty provides education for students and train professionals who work in education, physical education, sports, sports management, recreation, rehabilitation practice and other areas.

In the research area, it focuses mainly on topics related to the sustainability of human health from a prevention perspective. Its interest is interdisciplinary - the scientific teams are focused on sports science, kinanthropology, biomedicine, sustainable health and physiotherapy, as well as on humanities, sports history, pedagogy and management.
