UVic Behavioural Medicine Lab 2.17

The BMED lab was created in 2004 by Dr. Ryan Rhodes. The lab complement includes administration staff, research project coordinators, and postdoctoral, doctoral, masters, and undergraduate trainees focused on conducting research in the domain of physical activity and population health.

BMED research is focused on the behavioural and psychological aspects of physical activity and population health. This laboratory is innovative in that it provides a range of equipment and technology to test new models of physical activity motivation and behaviour, intervention strategies, and health promotion marketing. The research laboratory has a primary focus on physical activity and special populations, including families, youth, and older adults.
