Research

research participation Lifelong Fitness Alliance members are often invited to participate in fitness studies where both action and control group populations are sought. Lifelong Fitness membership represents a unique focus readily available for groups interested in researching active older adults. As our Lifelong Fitness Alliance becomes even more widely known, we anticipate research information will be a major factor in membership.

Data Collection Data is being collected from all programs that are being started now for both us within Lifelong Fitness to evaluate effectiveness and to be made available to interested researchers in aspects of adult wellness. For example, the Step It Up! program collects monthly data on participation, fitness condition at program beginning and upon completion, effectiveness of setting and reaching goals on nutrition and fitness, plus evaluations. The data and feedback from the initial pilot this year is summarized for review.
