Steve Amireault studies why people start, maintain, or stop being physically active across the lifespan, with particular attention to older adults and cancer survivors. His work examines psychological factors such as motivation, purpose in life, role identity, and beliefs about aging, and how these relate to physical activity behavior and well-being. Much of his research uses systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and longitudinal or survey-based methods.
