Jorge A. Banda studies physical activity, obesity, and how neighborhood and community environments (like parks and urban design) affect movement behavior across age groups, from preschoolers to older adults. A significant part of this work involves developing and testing methods for measuring physical activity using wearable accelerometers, as well as designing community-based interventions (such as counseling programs and pop-up parks) to help underserved populations become more active and manage weight.
