Research and Teaching

The Cognitive and Functional Learning (LEARN) Laboratory: the purpose of the LEARN Laboratory is to examine factors that influence human motor development, learning, and performance, with a specific focus on factors related to cognition, functional activities of healthy living, and the development of knowledge across the lifespan. The overall goal of this research is to develop evidence-based tools, strategies, and standards for the development of healthy physical behaviour and expert performance across the lifespan. The LEARN Laboratory is a member of the Physical Activity and Chronic Disease Prevention Unit.

The Systematic Reviews Research Laboratory: the purpose of this research laboratory is to systematically evaluate the available medical and health science in an effort to translate and disseminate synthesized evidence-based information across the spectrum of end-users for the promotion of physical activity and prevention of chronic disease. The Systematic Reviews Research Laboratory is a member of the Physical Activity and Chronic Disease Prevention Unit.
