Research Interest
Major Responsibilities/Research Interests Obesity and type 2 diabetes are among the most prevalent chronic diseases and their incidence is increasing as developing countries adopt “westernized” lifestyles.

Second, we develop and evaluate the effectiveness of physical activity interventions.
