The main objective of the TIE Lab is to understand the psychosocial determinants of physical activity adoption and maintenance and to promote this health behaviour through interventions. Our research and interventions are grounded in theoretical approaches to physical activity and health promotion among adults particularly those with chronic conditions (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease, and disability).
The core values of the TIE Lab are:
- BALANCE: To have awareness and skills to have a healthy integration of the facets of our lives.
- COLLABORATION: To build and maintain relationships within and outside the lab through respect, compassion, and trust.
- COMPASSION: To be aware of and to actively promote the well-being of yourself and others.
- CURIOUSITY: To actively approach and engage situations and people with interest and a critical perspective.
- GROWTH: To be motivated to progress to be the individuals and team we strive to be.
- RESPECT: To acknowledge the inherent worth, needs, perspectives, and differences of oneself and others.
- TRUST: To build and maintain the belief we can count on one another.
