Our lab’s goal is to develop effective technology-supported behavioral programs to help adults increase physical activity, decrease sedentary time, improve diet, and lose weight.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have awarded $1.2 million to Dr. Christine Pellegrini and Dr. Sara Wilcox to lead a three-year special interest project to improve arthritis through a phone-based walking program.
Anne-Hackett Little and Savannah Scruggs from the South Carolina Governor's School for Science and Mathematics completed the six week Summer Program for Research Interns within the Technology and Behavioral Intervention Lab.
Katherine was the first place award winner for session 2 of the three-minute thesis competition at Discover UofSC 2021. Her presentation is titled "Exploring the Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity in Adults with Overweight and Obesity During the Coronavirus Pandemic" and can be found here.
The Graduate Scholar in Aging Research Awards program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who exemplify the highest standards of scholarship focused on aging. Katherine will use her Graduate Scholar in Aging Award to support her research on examining the agreement between accelerometers used to measure sedentary behavior and physical activity among older adults who have had knee replacement surgery.
Katherine completed a Master of Public Health in Physical Activity and Public Health, where she was an AFLAC Fellow and received the Outstanding MPH Student Achievement Award. Katherine will be continuing her studies in the Exercise Science Doctoral Program in Fall 2020. Congratulations Katherine!!
