Who We Are
In the Gibbs Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Research Lab, we are researching how people sit, stand, move and sleep and using this information to figure out which patterns lead to the best cardiovascular, prenatal and overall health.
Our lab goals are to:
1. Use state-of-the-art assessment and statistical methods to measure and understand 24-hour activity patterns.
2. Link activity patterns to health outcomes, including pregnancy health, obesity, hypertension, subclinical cardiovascular disease and well-being.
3. Design and test interventions to modify activity patterns and improve cardiovascular and overall health.
