The Children’s Physical Activity Research Group (CPARG) is dedicated to expanding the body of knowledge on physical activity and its promotion in children and adolescents.
An overarching aim of CPARG is to enhance the health of young people by generating the knowledge needed to design and implement effective programs to increase physical activity in children with typical development and those with chronic and complex health conditions. Research interests include:
- Device-based assessment of physical activity and sedentary behaviour
- Early life prevention of childhood obesity and chronic disease
- Therapeutic exercise programs for children with chronic health conditions
- The relationships between physical activity and other health behaviours.
