Research Overview:

The Exercise and Sport Research Institute (ESRI) is an interdisciplinary research unit that serves as a research facility for the interdisciplinary doctoral program in exercise science. Faculty and graduate students within ESRI investigate a wide range of topics concerning movement, physical activity, fitness, and sport. The faculty members of the Sport and Exercise Psychology Laboratory examine the relationship between physical activity and psychological constructs.  Current research is designed to examine the influence of physical activity on mental health; the benefit of performance enhancement skills; and motivational aspects of physical activity.
