CPAH | Center for Physical Activity and Health
Mission:
Welcome to UGA’s Center for Physical Activity and Health! The mission of the Center for Physical Activity and Health is to promote interdisciplinary translational research, education and outreach activities related to the promotion of physical activity to sustain or enhance health across the lifespan. Health is defined broadly with efforts directed toward health enhancement and the treatment of chronic physical disability. Furthermore, health is defined multi-dimensionally being inclusive of physical and psycho-social domains. The Center fosters interactions with the UGA campus, local and state communities by facilitating new or enhancing existing research, education and outreach collaborations with campus scholars and educators within and across colleges, local medical entities, the GHSU/UGA Medical Partnership, local schools, and public health organizations.
