Jennifer Sacheck's research interests lie at the intersection of nutrition, physical activity, and health promotion. She was initially drawn to this field through her early studies in muscle physiology and more recently through obesity and chronic disease prevention research which has spanned basic science to community-based work. Current research studies include how nutrition and physical activity/fitness impact health outcomes such as cardiometabolic risk and cognitive health among schoolchildren. Sacheck continues to be interested in pursuing projects that involve policies and programs that promote physical activity, optimal nutrition, and physiological health and well-being across the lifespan.
