Welcome to the LOOK Study

LOOK (Lifestyle Of Our Kids) is a longitudinal project with primary school children that studies physical and psychological health over a four-year period from Grade 2 to Grade 6. Special attention is applied to the relationship of health and development with physical activity, incorporating a design so that the research may continue into later life. more about the study

 

Where are we up to?

The LOOK study has been underway since 2005 when we collected baseline measures of approximately 850 8yr old children. At the end of 2009 we completed our final Primary School measurements. In 2010 the LOOK children commence High School. View our current publications.
