Dr. David Brock is an associate professor of exercise
physiology, with a
specialization in clinical trials, chronic disease prevention, and
public health. He is the director of the Physical Activity Laboratory
with an overarching goal of investigating novel ways to increase
physical activity participation in adult and adolescent populations
that are at risk for chronic pathologies such as cardiovascular
disease, type 2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. Although not
exhaustive, current research interests of the physical activity lab are
physical activity/exercise adherence, incentivizing behavior
modification, obesity/chronic disease prevention, and elite endurance
performance.
