Proven Research
FUTURE OF WELLNESS
We have proven being fit decreases the cost of health care, reduces deaths from all causes and prolongs lives since more than 70% of diseases are preventable. Grow healthier as you grow older instead of the reverse. Ahead of his time, Dr. Kenneth Cooper opened a world-renowned preventive medicine center and research institute more than 50 years ago to collect preventive medicine data on his patients at Cooper Clinic. He began collecting consented patient data in a shoe box. Today that “shoe box” is the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study—the largest study in the world with measured fitness.
Executive Leadership
Our President and CEO Dr. Tyler C. Cooper is a preventive medicine physician whose passion is educating and helping others determine their level of fitness to improve the quality and quantity of their lives. But how do you know if you are fit? Measuring cardiovascular fitness is essential and critical to preventing, diagnosing and treating disease—just as blood pressure, cholesterol and other biometric markers assess an individual’s health. It is never too late to start moving more.
