FITSPIRIT'S IMPACT

RESEARCH RESULTS ON THE IMPACT OF THE FITSPIRIT APPROACH

From 2017 to 2022, FitSpirit made every effort to continue deepening its understanding of teenage girls' relationship with physical activity by conducting a rigorous evaluation process of its approach.

Working in close collaboration with the University of Montréal, and with the support of the Public Health Agency of Canada, the organization wanted to know the impact of FitSpirit on both participants and partner schools.

FitSpirit is delighted to present this report (in french only), which highlights the key results of this important research project, showing that FitSpirit works!
