The Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport at the
University of Minnesota is proud to announce the release of the 2007
Tucker Center Research Report.

The report, /Developing Physically Active Girls: An Evidence-based Multidisciplinary Approach/, summarizes the most recent research pertaining to the physical, psychological, social and cultural benefits girls derive from participation in sport and physical activity, the barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential and the kinds of environments in which girls learn how to develop and foster the best parts of themselves both on and off the playing fields.The report features contributions from sport psychologists Diane Wiese-Bjornstal and Nicole LaVoi, sport sociologists Margaret Duncan and Mary Jo Kane, and exercise
physiologists Barbara Ainsworth, Kelley Pettee and Jeanne Nichols.

The report can be downloaded free of charge at
