Current Scholarly Activity:

Physiological and behavioral factors involved in the etiology and prevention of obesity.  Of particular interest is the utility and feasibility of altering the work enviroment to include low intesity but extended duration activity via active work stations.

Secondary interests include the physiological and health consequences attendant to the use and abuse of various ergogenic aids.  The social, legal and cultural forces that shape the perception of these agents are also of interest.
