Active Living Research (ALR) works to support, share and put into practice research that can promote daily physical activity for children and families across the globe. They place special emphasis on research related to children of color and lower-income children who are at highest risk for obesity. 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.
