Studying the effect of neighborhood and school environments on youth physical activity levels
The Foundation's Active Living Research program was designed to support investigator-initiated research to identify and assess structural, environmental, and policy changes with the potential to increase population levels of physical activity. The purpose of this project is to examine how the physical and social environments of neighborhoods and schools likely influence patterns of participation in low- and moderate-intensity physical activity of youth. This multilevel observational study supplements accelerometer physical activity data from a random sample of 251 students in 10 neighborhoods with data characterizing neighborhoods, schools, and weather. Associations between school and neighborhood environmental variables and relevant time- and context-specific objective and self-report physical activity behaviors will be examined.
