Research
Interests:
Dr. Church is a PI, Co-I, or investigator on a number of NIH grants, most of which address issues related to exercise and health including exercise and the treatment of depression, exercise and cancer survivorship, exercise and maintenance of function in the elderly, and exploring the benefits of different types of exercise in individuals with diabetes. Dr. Church has a particular interest in the role of exercise in the modulation of nontraditional CHD risk factors such as C-reactive protein, heart rate variability, and visceral fat.
