The LiiNK Project has been examining the health, physical achievements, cognition, and the social & emotional progress of the children twice a year over the past nine years. Our journey began looking at classroom behaviors and attentional fatigue. Now, in our 10th year, we are studying the longer-term impact of the program on the overall health of children through a variety of avenues including body fat percentage, reaction time, motor skills, and chronic stress.
