THE COOPER RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Dr. Cooper’s plans for The Cooper Institute written while in the Air Force – June 22, 1970.

From the beginning, The Cooper Research Foundation will be established as a non-profit research institute. The objectives of the foundation are delineated as follows: 1. By means of sequential testing and the establishment of a data repository, conduct longitudinal research to determine objectively the role exercise plays in the preventive and rehabilitative aspect of heart, lung, and blood vessel disease.

2. Study normal vs. diseased patients, untrained vs. highly trained athletes, regardless of age or sex, in an effort to more clearly determine the physiological effects of aerobic conditioning in health and disease.

3. Conduct in-house projects and support contractual research studies evaluating the immediate and the long term effects of various levels and types of exercise. (Basic exercise physiology) 4. Extensively study the occasional undesirable or untoward effect of exercise; eg., jogging deaths, in an attempt to determine the cause and the prevention of such occurrences.

5. Initiate studies with various ages of school children in an effort to import the effectiveness of physical education program in an attempt to educate, motive and prepare school children for the inherent health problem of an affluent society.

Income to The Cooper Research Foundation will be used as follows:

1. Implement and support the objectives of The Research Foundation by leasing a facility, obtaining required diagnostic and data analytical equipment, paying salaries, employed personnel and by contributions to organizations duly authorized to conduct research on the Aerobics principles.

2. Provide scholarships, fellowships and individual grants to qualified people interested in further study of the objectives of The Research Foundation.

All of the advanced research and diagnostic testing equipment in use in The Cooper Clinic will be made available without cost to The Research Foundation. I will supervise the activities of The Foundation without pay.

All data from the repository will be available for public use.

}

The Cooper Institute is dedicated to promoting life-long preventive health and wellness through research and education.

Over a decade ago, the NFL Foundation partnered with The Cooper Institute on the NFL PLAY 60 FitnessGram Project, bringing together the nationally recognized NFL PLAY 60 program with the scientific validity of FitnessGram.

This project is the largest and most ambitious school-based fitness research initiative to date with over 1,000 schools and after-school programs actively enrolled.

WELL. INTO THE FUTURE

As childhood obesity rates continue to rise, the NFL Foundation rises to the top as one of the few organizations willing to tackle the problem on a large scale.

Charlotte Jones Anderson receives the 2019 Legacy Award on behalf of the NFL Foundation.

NFL PLAY 60 encourages kids to get physically active for at least 60 minutes a day. Since its launch in 2007 with American Heart Association, the NFL and its clubs have supported programs in over 73,000 schools, giving more than 38 million children an opportunity to boost their activity levels and improve their overall health.

NFL PLAY 60 is the only school-based youth fitness program proven effective through research from The Cooper institute.

Supporting programs like Fuel Up to Play 60, a partnership between the NFL and the National Dairy Council, add nutrition education to round out the health and wellness program.

}

IT’S A FACT. Research from the NFL PLAY 60 FitnessGram Project proves that students who participate in school-based fitness initiatives like NFL PLAY 60 have: ×× Improved cardio fitness ×× Healthier body weight

}

Each of the 32 NFL teams select schools to participate in the project, which uses FitnessGram by The Cooper Institute to accurately measure and track the overall fitness levels of students.

Greater participation in school-based fitness programs like NFL PLAY 60 can improve the health of American children and build habits they can carry with them into adulthood where poor health is driving up the cost of healthcare and driving down productivity. We must expand this program and continue our research to win the battle against childhood obesity. x x x

LAUNCH PARTY HONORING THE NFL FOUNDATION

Research doesn’t happen on its own - it needs support from passionate people who understand its impact on society.

Association of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality With High Levels of Physical Activity and Concurrent Coronary Artery Calcification Research by The Cooper Institute, published in JAMA Cardiology, takes a closer look at the risk of hardening of the arteries in high-level athletes and whether they can continue their training.

“Elite athletes have 11% greater risk of hardening arteries, but no greater risk of death.”

IMPACT ON A CITY Improving public health can be a daunting task, but Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price has inspired an entire city by implementing programs and resources that encourage residents to get active.

Since taking office in 2011, Fort Worth has added over 76 miles of bike lanes. Programs like the Mayor’s School Challenge, FitWorth and the Tour de Fort Worth encourage students and their families to adopt healthy habits. In 2018 alone, over 29,000 children logged more than 23 million minutes of physical activity and ate 1.7 million servings of fruits and vegetables.

“Over 20,000 FitnessGram students who are at-risk for diabetes have shown a 6% reduction in their risk factors in just 3 years.”

Mayor Betsy Price

Fort Worth is now the largest city in the U.S. to join the Blue Zone Project, a strategic partnership backed by Texas Health Resources.

The program makes healthy choices the easy choice so people can live longer and better with less chronic disease. The city has moved up from the 185th least healthy city to the 31st healthiest city. }

IMPACT ON A NATION The National Football League has done more to improve youth health and fitness than almost any other organization across the country.

The Cooper Institute is proud to honor the NFL Foundation for its incredible work to get kids active and healthy under the leadership and guidance of chairman Charlotte Jones Anderson.

“It’s all about prevention. We want to inspire young kids to do the right thing, to be active, to be motivated by playing.”

Charlotte Jones Anderson

As part of the NFL PLAY 60 FitnessGram Project, research from The Cooper Institute proves that this program works to improve youth fitness. The partnership has been renewed for another two years.

Since creating NFL PLAY 60 in 2007, the NFL has committed more than $352 million to improve fitness by encouraging kids to get out and play for 60 minutes a day.

IMPACT ON YOUTH Improving the health of our nation’s youth is critical to improving the future of our country. Jimena Tinoco, the Fuel Up to Play 60 Texas State Ambassador and now a member of the national youth council, understands the impact that fitness and nutrition have on the students of today.

Tinoco has been the face, and the bi-lingual voice, of this program to help educate students across the country in both English and Spanish about the benefits of exercise and healthy choices.

“With a healthy body and mind, we can accomplish anything.”

Jimena Tinoco

At only 17 years old, she has emerged as both a voice for change and a voice for the health of her generation. “When I joined the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, I learned that good, healthy food and consistent exercise is vitally important,” said Tinoco. “Physical activity is key to have a healthy body and a sharp mind.”

IMPACT ON THE WORLD In 1969, Apollo 11 made history as Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon. Retired Brig. Gen. Charlie Duke served as CAPCOM for that mission, making his voice almost as famous as Armstrong’s in that firstever transmission from the lunar surface.

“Nobody went to the moon for fame or fortune.

We were there for the adventure, the thrill, the desire to explore. That’s what our motivation was and we trained really hard.”

Charles Duke

The astronauts endured unprecedented physical training to see what the body could endure as technological advancements propelled us to greater heights.

“It was hard work in that spacesuit… I started running, and I’m still running and jogging over 50 years later.”

IMPACT WELL. INTO THE FUTURE. “Exercise is medicine.”

Nobody understands this better than the man who coined the phrase, published the book, and changed the future of healthcare.

“Father of Aerobics”

“It’s a whole lot cheaper and more effective to prevent disease than it is to find a cure.”

Kenneth H. Cooper

Despite decades of research and sage advice, Americans continue to become more obese and less active at great cost to our economy.

Preventable chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease plague our country and drive up the cost of healthcare for all.

Since the founding charter was written, The Cooper Institute has been focused on how “to educate, motivate and prepare school children” to live healthier lives. Programs and partnerships like NFL PLAY 60 FitnessGram are helping us improve their health now so they can live Well. Into the Future. }
