Active Living Research website
The Active Living Research websiteprovides research-based tools and resources to help practitioners, policy-makers, and advocates create more activity-friendly environments.
Active Living Research, funded in part by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has a goal of supporting and sharing research that promotes daily physical activity for children and families across the United States.
"Our goal is to support and share research that can promote daily physical activity for children and families across the United States. We place special emphasis on research related to children of color and lower-income children who are at highest risk for obesity.
"Active Living Research (ALR) provides credible and action-oriented research results that address the root causes of childhood obesity and physical inactivity. With a focus on communities, active transportation, schools, and parks and recreation, ALR works with advocates, practitioners, policy-makers and other organizations interested in reversing the childhood obesity epidemic and promoting active living."
