What We Do
We promote lifelong health and wellness through research and education. Since the inception of the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study (CCLS), our researchers have been able to utilize study data to investigate the benefits of healthy living as well as preventive care and share our findings with the world. Our youth programs have helped instill lifelong healthy habits among children across the country. We continue to raise awareness about the benefits of healthy living, locally and around the world.
Research
Research that changes the world
For more than five decades, our research team has examined critical prevention topics. The research conducted by KHCI has not only proven that "exercise is medicine," but has also answered questions on how to live a healthier life at any age.

The NFL Play60 FitnessGram Project has been an outstanding success at my school. These resources increase the data our PE program has access to and with these data we make instructional improvements to our students’ learning. Even more students are motivated intrinsically to be more aware of the physical performance goals and became more committed.
