The primary goal of this research is to obtain estimates of the effects of the dramatic increase in girls’ participation in high school sports, as a result of Title IX legislation, on the physical activity, health and health behaviors of adolescent women. This large and unprecedented increase in girls’ sports participation provides a unique opportunity to study the effects of school-based interventions targeted at increasing physical activity of youth.
