I study the interface between psychological stress, motivation and physical activity/exercise. Three major themes of my research include: 1) the impact of psychological stress on efforts to be physically active, 2) associations of stress and muscular recovery after exercise, and 3) wants/desires for muscular movement and rest and how these vary by stress. In 2021, I created an informal laboratory group called IMpulse (denoting IM for intrinsic motivation). Contact me for more information.
