Community Benefit and Outcomes
We Run This City students participate in a pre-race
evaluation in January right before training starts and a post
race evaluation after the race in late May. The evaluation
measures changes in physical measurements (i.e., BMI, body composition, and blood pressure), changes in fitness
measurements (PACER and Sit to Stand test for speed and
endurance), as well as self-reported attitudes, intentions and
behaviors (i.e, recreational choices, intentions to be active, physical fitness competency) and school related outcomes,
such as school attachment, grades and attendance.
Students in 2010 were found to show significant improvements
in performance on the Sit to Stand test (a test of lower
body strength and balance) and the PACER (Progressive
Aerobic Cardiovascular Run). There has been a significant reduction in blood
pressure in students found to be pre-hypertensive and
hypertensive.
