Description: The principal focus of the Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory (APAL) is on perception and action in virtual environments. Research programs are motivated primarily by the ecological approach to human-machine systems. Areas of research include driving, postural control, performance in head-mounted displays, and motion sickness. Collaborative links exist with researchers in the US, Canada, France, and Japan.

Description: Research conducted in the Exercise and Mental Health Lab (EMHL) examines the effect of physical activity on mental health. Studies have included randomized trials examining theory-based behavioral strategies to increase exercise among individuals at risk for mental health issues and the effect of high intensity interval training on affective responses to exercise. Most recent studies have examined the effect of telephone-based physical activity interventions on preventing perinatal depression among women who are at high risk for depression.

Description: The Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene and Exercise Science (LPHES) has recently completed the large multi-center HERITAGE Family Exercise Study. This study examined the interaction of exercise and genetics on risk factors for coronary artery disease and diabetes. Other research focuses at LPHES include studies funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs evaluating the relationships between insulin resistance, sodium sensitivity, blood flow, vascular structure and function, and blood pressure.

Description: Researchers in this lab attempt to enhance understanding of how the human brain controls movement. Studies focus on recording neuropsychological, psychophysical, electrophysiological, and biomechanical measurements in humans. Researchers examine how infants and children learn to reach for objects and how people with certain diseases lose their coordination. Through these studies, we hope to learn how the nervous system coordinates multiple limb movement.

Description: The Sports Medicine Psychology Laboratory (SMPL) focuses on theory, research, and professional practice in the psychological, behavioral, and sociocultural aspects of sport injury prevention and care. SMPL researchers embrace interdisciplinary perspectives through collaborations with diverse professionals (such as sport coaches, athletic trainers, and sport psychology consultants) and researchers (such as orthopedic surgeons, exercise physiologists, horticulturists, and geospatial scientists). Recent investigations include religiosity in coping with sport injuries, intersections between sports turf conditions and risk of sport injuries, and psychological responses of athletes to sport injuries.

Description: The goals of the laboratory revolve around the plasticity and regeneration of skeletal muscle, in efforts to mitigate the devastating functional limitations of limb salvage and traumatic muscle injuries. SMPRL research examines the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems in efforts to understand and develop effective strategies to address the deleterious effects of complex traumatic muscle injuries, namely volumetric muscle loss. Ongoing work broadly encompasses investigating muscle and nerve interactions, metabolic and fibrotic comorbidities, regenerative rehabilitation treatment strategies, and the combination of these in more complex orthopedic injuries.
