Companies across America have implemented employee wellness programs to control rising health care costs and address major health issues like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. But employers with robust programs view wellness not just as a way to save money but as an essential element of a strong and vibrant company culture. These employers are increasing their financial commitment to employee wellness, but they see room for improvement in their programs and are struggling with strategy, leadership support, and results measurement. This annual report illuminates how businesses approach and deploy wellness programs to meet their corporate objectives and explores how they can do better.

Civil society organizations are involved in consumer markets in various ways to help vulnerable consumers. They conduct research, test products, form partnerships with businesses, provide information and advocacy, and directly supply some goods and services. Their involvement aims to address market failures, improve accessibility and fairness, meet consumer needs, and generate income. While this diverse involvement can benefit consumers, it also presents challenges for organizations to balance different objectives and funding sources in a way that stays aligned with their mission. Organizations must consider whether activities primarily support their mission or are done more for trading or income reasons, and proceed cautiously with any activities off mission that could pull them in different directions.

ShapeUp's incentive philosophy is outlined, emphasizing rewarding progress, real-time rewards, and actions to work alongside social rewards in prompting behavior change.
The evidence is in: social wellness challenges work! They leverage the qualities that make your employees great already — competitiveness, camaraderie, and accountability — to help them become healthier, and even more productive, employees.

When someone exercises, the people around them are more likely to do so as well. When someone loses weight, their trusted social network is more likely too also lose weight. This may seem intuitive, but groundbreaking new research is showing us just how powerful these forces are and igniting our imagination about how we can use this knowledge to improve the health of large populations.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
