The Kids at Play (KAP) Laboratory, directed by Dr. Karin Pfeiffer, is devoted to research on movement in children and adolescents, from toddlers through high school. Main areas of focus are physical activity assessment, physical activity interventions and program evaluation, and fitness and motor competence. Undergraduate and graduate student researchers are important partners in our work.
