Research Goals

The main goal of the research umbrella in IMSVI is to work with undergraduate and graduate students as well as colleagues at Brockport and beyond to conduct much-needed research. The research is in the area of physical activity and motor development during the lifespan in the form of descriptive and intervention studies.
