About Child Health and Physical Activity Lab

With the goal of setting young children up on a healthy trajectory, the Child Health and Physical Activity Laboratory conducts research to measure, promote, and intervene to support physical activity participation and manage sedentary behaviours. Our team comprises faculty researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, and volunteers; together, we engage in community-based research in local childcare settings to generate evidence to support health promoting changes to their policies and practices. We work closely with early childhood educators and parents to create feasible and appropriate physical activity interventions. With funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the City of London, Mitacs, and Western University, our research has been able to make impacts benefitting the health, and futures, of young children.
