Research:

Dr. Moffit’s research interests include cardiovascular and biomechanical influences on endurance sport performance as well as the application of physical activity for improving health and wellness. He is currently the director of the Human Performance Laboratory where he supervises student interns who gain valuable research and practical experience using modern equipment to measure and evaluate physical attributes and performance capabilities of students, athletes, and the general public.

Dr. Moffit is a Member of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). His engagement in fund raising events has provided support for undergraduate students to attend the South West Chapter meeting of the ACSM since 2004. This annual meeting is where students can present their own research, develop professional networks, and make contacts that lead to career and educational opportunities.

Research:

Dr. Kim’s research agenda is cardiovascular systemic and efforts to improve the cardiovascular health of the various clinical population (e.g., cancer survivor, diabetes, older adults, and cardiovascular disease population, etc). Dr. Kim’s works have focused on microvascular functional and structural improvements with non-pharmaceutical interventions such as exercise, remote ischemic preconditioning, and nutritional intervention and explain molecular mechanisms of these changes. He is specifically interested in non-traditional exercise interventions to improve the cardiovascular health of clinical populations who are not able to follow the ACSM recommended physical activity guidelines.  Dr. Kim is developing students orientated research programs in CSUB. Students who are interested in cardiovascular systems and want to have hands-on experiences in cardiovascular research with various clinical populations are encouraged to contact him.

Research:

Dr. Zenko is interested in promoting physical activity and exercise behavior, and reducing sedentary behavior. Dr. Zenko adopts a dual-process theoretical framework in which physical activity, exercise, and sedentary behavior are influenced jointly by both rational, deliberate and nonrational, automatic processes. Dr. Zenko's work has focused on (a) making the experience of physical activity and exercise more pleasant and enjoyable, (b) understanding decision-making processes that influence physical activity and exercise behavior, and (c) understanding automatic associations with exercise (sometimes called "implicit associations" or "implicit attitudes").

Dr. Zenko welcomes student research assistants and greatly enjoys mentoring students as they take leadership of their own research projects related to exercise and sport psychology. Students are encouraged to reach out to him if they are interested in research opportunities.

Dr. Zenko is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine, North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity, and the Society for Transparency, Openness, and Replication in Kinesiology.
