Shannon Bredin

Associate Professor
School of Kinesiology (KIN)

Dr. Bredin is a leader in community-based initiatives in physical activity and health. She is a project lead for the innovative Physical Activity Line, a free telehealth resource for evidence-based physical activity information in BC. Her research examines factors that facilitate physical activity, and physical activity in relation to skill acquisition and human performance in childhood, early parenthood, in developing and elite athletes, and in persons living with chronic medical conditions.
