Biography
Dr. Brent E. Faught is a Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Sciences. His research expertise is in physical activity epidemiology. Physical activity and relational risk research examines an i n d i v i d u a l ’s decision to adopt a regular physically active lifestyle as a health preventative measure. Brent has examined this relationship in both young and elderly cohorts and with respect to numerous conditions such as stress, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, bulimia, developmental coordination disorder and concussion syndrome. Dr. Faught has graduate school privileges in the Faculties of Applied Health Sciences and Education at Brock University. He currently supervises Ph.D., M.Sc. and M.Ed. graduate students
