Exercise Physiology and Sports Nutrition Research
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

During the past number of years, our research group has focused its study on sport nutrition, with a particular emphasis on the application of the glycemic index in exercise performance. Research in children’s physical activity has also been developed as a significant research area in our laboratory. Our group has been successfully collaborating with renowned researchers from different countries in investigating the environmental correlates of physical activity and sedentary behaviors in Hong Kong schoolchildren. Such collaborations have resulted in publications of high quality referred journals and success in applications of research grants. Recently, we have expanded our research to examine both eating behaviors and physical activity in the development of childhood obesity.

RESEARCH AREAS:

  • Sports Nutrition and Immune Function


  • Applied Physiology of Endurance Running/ Soccer


  • Children Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyle


  • Strategy on Physical Activity Promotion
