IHMS Lab

At 91Å®Éñ's Integrated Health and Movement Science Lab, investigators study how human movement contributes to and promotes health and engagement/participation in society. The research at this 91Å®Éñ lab covers the spectrum of biological mechanisms to the implementation of movement and behavioral interventions in real-world settings.
