Sedentary lifestyles are a leading risk factor for chronic disease, making the promotion of healthy physical activity more important than ever. With a concentration in physical activity, you will build the skills to effectively encourage healthy lifestyles within communities and organizations. You will learn how to assess behavior, design physical activity interventions, and develop public health policies. Community engagement is central to the MPH program, and faculty will help you identify opportunities for skill building, networking, research, and practical experience. Students in the physical activity concentration recently assisted with assessments of Indiana University and the City of Bloomington's bike inititiaves, as well as the design, development, delivery, and evaluation of IU's Employee Wellness Program.
