Exercise & Health Psychology Lab

Research group at @westernu studying health behaviours and behaviour change interventions.

[Exercise & Health Psychology Lab @ehplwestern]

Can an acute bout of exercise reduce cigarette cravings in smokers? As Director of the @ehplwestern, this is just one of the questions that Dr Harry Prapavessis examines. His research also explores #exercise and #sedentarybehaviour, and health outcomes. https://t.co/x7YKRkbw9D

Sitting continuously while working from home? Prescribed strategies may help.

A recent study by #WesternuKIN's Madison Hiemstra, MSc'21 and prof @MarcMitch_PhD sheds light on how deciding to take breaks can impact our well-being. @WesternU @VPRWesternU

New research on applications of self-compassion!📢
Deductive content analysis revealed that applying self-compassion in response to a weight stigmatizing event during physical activity was limited by culturally endorsed beliefs surrounding weight in girls.
