Research summary

David B. Klenosky studies physical activity, recreation, and leisure behavior, with a focus on how people's perceptions, motivations, and surrounding environments (like parks, trails, and neighborhoods) influence their engagement in physical activity. Much of the work involves measuring physical activity using tools like accelerometers, GPS tracking, and surveys, often in older adult populations. The research also touches on tourism, park visitation, and consumer decision-making, such as parents' food choices for children.
