The Cooper Institute investigates the links between cardiorespiratory fitness, good health and longevity.

• Throughout our 52 years, we have proven higher fitness levels to be associated with a dramatic decrease of dying from all causes, lower risk of cardiovascular disease and lower risk of dementia and certain cancers.
•  We advocate for prevention and healthy living for children through our youth initiatives and programs, including FitnessGram®, the NFL PLAY 60 FitnessGram Project and the Healthy Zone School Program.
• Texas has the 8th highest obesity rate for youth ages 10-17 and the 12th highest adult obesity rate in the U.S., and we continue to fight for stronger PE, recess and nutrition policies. 

With obesity and inactivity rates at an all-time high, especially in adolescents, The Cooper Institute’s ongoing research and education are more crucial now than ever.

Please consider making a donation that will help The Cooper Institute continue to provide health-changing research and education that will allow all of us to live Well. Into the Future.
