The Research File

We are pleased to relaunch our popular Research Files series. Our new 2009 series are written and designed in collaboration with ParticipACTION. The Research File is an ongoing series of one-page research summaries featuring synthesized and interpreted scientific information about active lifestyles. Written specifically for professionals, the Research File summarizes research findings in the area of physical activity. (ISSN 1188-6641)

The Research File is published online. The majority of the 12 articles per year cover the same topics as the Lifestyle Tips; others offer practical suggestions for intergrating physical activity into one's daily life.
