The overarching goal of our lab is to identify ways in which supervised exercise and unsupervised self-performed physical activity can impact health outcomes in people living with cardiovascular disease. 

Research in this lab involves use of large national data to examine associations between physical activity, physical function, and clinical outcomes in cardiovascular disease. 

Another goal of this lab is to find ways to implement novel physical activity promotion approaches to bridge health disparities and promote cardiovascular health in all older adults with cardiovascular disease.

Pathways to Healthy Living

A Physical Activity Promotion Intervention for Black Women with Cardiovascular Disease 

Despite advances in cardiovascular care, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death among Black women in the United States. We are looking for women over 18 years of age who self-identify as Black and non-Hispanic, and who have been diagnosed with a heart condition to participate in a zoom interview to investigate personal experiences of Black women living with heart disease and the perceived challenges living with and managing their heart disease.

Adults with Chronic Lung Disease

Comparison of Telehealth and Onsite Supervised Maintenance Exercise Programs: A Pilot Randomized Trial

Chronic Lung Disease (CLD), such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, and chronic asthma, contributes significantly to the global burden of disease. We are seeking participants 40 years or older with physician diagnosed CLD with experience participating in an outpatient rehabilitation, are able to walk independently with or without the use of mobility devices, and who have access to zoom video conferencing.
