We are validating the measurement of noninvasive pulse wave velocity in the standing posture compared to the gold-standard method of doing the measurement while lying down on your back.

We are currently studying the association of 24-hour activity behavior (sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity) in college students with memory in college-aged students.

We are currently studying the influence of various high intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols that are brief in duration (10 minutes of exercise) on risk factors for cardiovascular disease to determine if a certain HIIT protocol is better than another.

We are investigating daily activity levels with a thigh-worn activity monitor to understand standing behaviors among age groups and to identify differences in activity levels as well as types of standing behaviors between each group.

We are investigating whether having a higher aerobic fitness can protect you against adverse changes to the cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal systems from prolonged standing. Additionally, we are investigating if standing on an activity/balance board can promote more active standing to protect against any adverse events. 

This study is in the data analysis phase. Thank you to those who participated.

We are investigating the use of brief (5 minutes) seated aerobic and resistance exercise breaks every hour to offset prolonged sitting within the workplace. The goal is to develop a feasible intervention for those with movement limitations or those who are unable to stand or walk.  

This study is in the data analysis phase. Thank you to those who participated.

We aim to determine if a triaxial monitor attached to the upper leg that is used widely to determine sedentary, standing, and active behavior across the day can detect the unique and small differences in standing posture such as standing still, weight shifting left and right as well as other common standing postures. With this information, we hope to determine how the accumulation of standing postures may lead to differences in health benefits.

This study is in the data analysis phase. Thank you to those who participated.
