The Child Health, Exercise, and Rest (CHEaR) Lab is a research laboratory at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada managed by Dr. Laura Brunton. The CHEaR Lab is comprised of graduate (PhD, MSc) and undergraduate (BSc, BA) students supervised by Dr. Brunton.
The current research focus of the CHEaR Lab is exploring and understanding fatigue and pain experienced by individuals with childhood-onset conditions and the potential relationships with physical activity, sleep, pain and mental health.
