Scholarly Interest
My interest resides in utilizing physical activity as a means to prevent chronic disease, improve function in chronic diseased populations, and improve quality of life across the lifespan. Populations of interest include college students, work site, master athletes, older population, and the cancer survivor population. In addition, I have expertise in physical activity assessment methods and utilizing technology as a means to influence physical activity.
