This course explores the behavioral dimensions of physical activity, covering strategies to initiate and sustain active lifestyles, population-level activity patterns, psychological frameworks for promoting exercise, analyzing inactive behaviors, and methods for measuring activity levels both objectively and subjectively. Current faculty investigations address psychological factors influencing exercise habits, connections between movement and emotional wellbeing, activity-based programs for expectant and new mothers, energy expenditure in educational settings, youth fitness initiatives, how surroundings affect activity and eating patterns, and variations in exercise behaviors across demographics. Collaborative studies involve partnerships with medical, nursing, public health, epidemiological, physiological, nutritional, psychological, family science, and demographic research units.
