OverviewAI-generated summary
Erin K. Howie investigates the interplay between physical activity, sleep, and health across the lifespan, with a particular focus on developmental trajectories and their long-term implications. Her work examines how behaviors established in childhood and adolescence can influence health outcomes in young adulthood. This includes research on the relationships between participation in sports during formative years and adult fitness levels, as well as gender disparities in physical activity among children in playground settings.
Howie's research also addresses the impact of lifestyle factors on health in specific populations. She has studied the associations between physical activity, sleep, and burnout among medical students, faculty, and staff. Additionally, her work has explored the moderating roles of sleep and physical activity in mitigating depressive symptoms, particularly in the context of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 34, with 148 total publications and 3,546 total citations. Key collaborators include Kaitlin M. Gallagher, Michael R. Thomsen, Kari A. Weber, and Matthew J. Barenie.
