Welcome to the Pediatric Movement and Physical Activity Lab
@ Auburn University!
The Pediatric Movement and Physical Activity Lab at Auburn University, under the direction of Dr. Melissa Pangelinan, Ph.D., employs state-of-the-art brain and body imaging, as well as neurocognitive and movement assessments, to better understand how motor skills and physical activity participation affect brain and physical development. The goal of this research is to develop age-appropriate interventions that will promote motor competence and physical activity participation, which will impact the long-term development of brain and physical health.
We have several research studies and run programs for typically-developing individuals and those with developmental disabilities and neurological conditions (e.g., TBI).
