PowerUp P.E. is an initiative that creates and disseminates evidence-based training materials and resources for Physical Education (PE) teachers to help students become more physically active during P.E. PowerUp P.E. offers training videos demonstrating fun and interactive ways in which elementary school PE teachers can increase their students' physical activity levels and a downloadable toolkit for PE teachers that complements these videos. Also available are two webinars for professional development purposes, featuring instructions for incorporating these materials into P.E. curricula. The goal is to increase children's physical activity levels in an effort to prevent and/or reduce the prevalence of obesity and other chronic diseases and to improve the overall physical and mental health of children. Funding for PowerUp P.E. was provided by Active Living Research/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Active living integrates physical activity into daily routines such as walking or biking for transportation or recreation, playing in the park, work in the yard, or using recreation facilities. Active living policies and practices in community design, land use, and facility access have been proven effective to increase levels of physical activity.

Healthy Living Practices is a continuum of interventions that range from 'new' or emerging programs to those best practice where outcomes have been formally evaluated.
