Six Nations/Ohsweken running club pilot program final report

Most notable was the decrease in resting heart rate from the beginning of the program to the end. [...] Finally, perceived physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health all increased from the beginning of the program to the end of the program. [...] In addition, there were fewer participants in the post measure and this may have allowed the Community Trainers to more accurately obtain the heart rates at the end of the race. [...] One of the most significant findings is the decrease in resting heart rate from the beginning of the program to the end. [...] At the beginning of the program both boys and girls average run/walk time came in near the 50th percentile and at the end of the program both improved to around the 75th percentile.
