PACE Lab

The Physical Activity, Culture and Education (PACE) Lab was founded in 2008 as a multidisciplinary space for the study of physical activity, sport and physical education from the standpoints of communities, cultures and societies. Within the lab, faculty and students conduct research using sociocultural, pedagogical, psychological and youth development frameworks, methods and theories to explore participation in physical activity. Current research groups affiliated with the PACE Lab include: Active Living Across the Lifespan Research Group; Physical Education and Cognitive Development; and Studies in Physical Culture, Sport and Education.
