PE4life acknowledges the need for measurable outcomes as it is known that data drives decisions. Data collection from PE4life Academies and PE4life programs is a primary focus.
PE4life programs have shown compelling improvements in math and reading scores when increasing fitness levels, while also decreasing disciplinary incidents.
Increased Levels of Fitness
The national average of childhood obesity is nearly 35%. The Naperville, IL PE4life Academy tested their 9th graders at Naperville Central and found an obesity rate of only 3%. Additionally, the PE4life Academy conducted a study that compared their students' healthy fitness body composition and aerobic capacity with those of students in the state of California. Ninety seven percent of the 9th grade students in Naperville were in a body composition healthy fitness zone, compared to only 68% of 9th grade students in the state of California. Eighty percent of the Naperville students were in an aerobic capacity healthy fitness zone, as opposed to 49% of the California students.

Improved Academics
Within one semester of implementing a Learning Readiness PE (LRPE) class as part of the PE4life program at the Naperville PE4life Academy, students at Naperville Central High School improved their reading and math scores dramatically. The students enrolled in the LRPE prior to math improved their algebra readiness scores 20%, compared to a 2% improvement of those who didn't take LRPE. Students taking the LRPE prior to literacy class improved their reading levels by and average of more than a full grade level (1.4), as opposed to the .9 grade level improvement of those not enrolled in LRPE. The results also displayed the importance of LRPE taken immediately prior to reading and math. It was found that students enrolled in the LRPE class right before Reading increased their literacy scores twice the percentage of those students who were enrolled in LRPE several hours before Reading class.
