What is a MOVE?
A MOVE is a measurement of physical activity, calculated through your height, weight and predicted energy expenditure when completing an exercise. It’s a fantastic method for measuring activity relative to each individual.
Example of MOVES: Five flights of stairs = 50 MOVEs; walking for 30 minutes = 200 MOVEs.
So, what are you waiting for – it’s time to get MOVEing! If you haven’t already done so, download the DeakinMOVES app today to get started.

The season may have started but it’s not too late to join the fun! Free registration is still available. Get your mates together, make up a team, or join DeakinPLAY as an individual (and we’ll add you into a team) for friendly social netball, basketball and badminton competitions.
Mixed netball, mixed basketball and mixed badminton competitions are being offered at both Burwood and Waurn Ponds campuses. All ages and abilities welcome! Visit the DeakinACTIVE website for more information or to register as a team or individual.
