Improving health and well-being through movement
The Active Schools & Communities research team works to improve access to physical activity and integrate movement into daily living with a focus on neighborhoods and school settings. We work with community partners, and collect and analyze behavioral data with the goal of developing actionable insights and practical guidance.
Sport and movement-based curricular and behavioral interventions to support children's physical, social, and emotional health before and after school.
Research and tools related to physical activity policies and practices in schools, including physical education, recess, classrooms, before and after school, and school-community events.
Improving the safety and prevalence of walking, biking, and rolling to school across Arizona and beyond.
Supporting schools and opportunities for movement in times of high heat.
