Movement Behaviours and Health LabWelcome to the McGill University Movement Behaviours and Health (MBH) Lab!
The Movement Behaviours and Health (MBH) Lab, led by Dr. Bruno da Costa, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of how physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep interact to influence health and well-being. Based at McGill University, our research explores psychosocial factors that shape these daily behaviours across the lifespan. We focus on three main areas:
Correlates and Determinants: We identify the social, cognitive, affective, and environmental factors that correlate or determine movement behaviours.
Health Implications: we explore how specific patterns of activity and sleep impact physical and mental health outcomes from childhood through older adulthood.
Measurement: We develop and refine methods to accurately measure movement behaviours and their context.
Our Lab
The MBH is housed in room 233 of the Sir Arthur Currie Gym Building.
