Clinical Trial
The psychological and physiological outcomes of virtual reality exercise
My primary area of research stems from the study of exercised induced psychological and physiological adaptations from a psychophysiological framework (i.e., how a healhty body impacts a healhty mind and vice-versa). Utilizing theory-based, psychophysiological, self-report, and behavioral methodologies, my research has focused on developing a better understanding of how exercise makes individuals feel with a primary goal of improving exercise adherence. I am particularly interested in utilizing multimodal exercise programs to improve overall quality of life, help treat individuals of diverse backgrounds living with psychological disorders, and improve emotionally and cognitive health. The present study seeks to undersand the acute changes in physiological responses to myofascial release during exercise relative to a control condition.
