Fit2Lead Park-Based Programs for Youth Health
This study, called Fit2Lead, looks at how a park-based afterschool program affects the health and well-being of young people. Researchers are studying participants aged 12-17 in Miami-Dade County who are part of the Fit2Lead program. This program offers activities like academic support, sports, meditation, and life skills training. The study will track changes in participants' weight, blood pressure, and physical fitness (like how many push-ups they can do) over several years. The goal is to understand if these programs help with anxiety, overall wellness, and issues like being overweight or having high blood pressure.
