| Description :

“Her Life Depends On It,” is the most comprehensive compilation of research to date about the impact of physical activity on the physical, psychological and cultural health of girls. The report points to physical activity and sport as fundamental solutions for many of the serious health and social problems faced by girls. These include obesity, heart disease, substance abuse, teen pregnancy and depression – which accounts for much of the more than $1 trillion spent on healthcare for treating these issues.

December 2009 Updated Her Life Depends on It Report
In December 2009 the Women's Sports Foundation released a new and expanded comprehensive review of its essential "Her Life Depends On It" report, first released in 2004. The benchmark 2009 review draws critical conclusions that further emphasize the vital roles that sports play in the physical and social health of girls and women. The report is compiled from more than 2,000 studies examining women's athletics and health, including hundreds of new studies conducted in the five years since the last report was released. |
