The Physical Activity and Health program faculty conduct a variety of research in each of their laboratories. They study anything from what makes you motivated to exercise, to the affects of whey protein on the body, to what part of the brain is activated when you perform a task. Many of the faculty have an “open door” policy where you can be involved and get hands-on experience.
The Physical Activity and Healthy faculty engage in outreach efforts to improve the lives of people in the community. You can assist in those efforts and help change lives. Some of our initiatives include Faculty and Staff Fitness Program, Yoga classes, Tiger Fit Health and Fitness Assessments, Youth Speed, Agility, and Conditioning Camp, and High School Preseason Camp.
