Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Erin Kaye Howie investigates the effects of physical activity and sedentary behavior on human health, with a particular focus on children and adolescents. Her research has explored the historical perspective of physical activity and academic achievement in children, as well as the short-term musculoskeletal and cognitive impacts of prolonged sitting during office computer work. Howie has also examined the acute effects of classroom exercise breaks on executive function and math performance, employing a dose-response study design.
Her work extends to interventions aimed at increasing physical activity in children and understanding the social factors that promote participation in youth sports programs. Howie has conducted systematic reviews on the associations between mobile touch screen device use and musculoskeletal symptoms, as well as investigated these associations in nationally representative samples of adolescents. Her research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
Howie's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 34, with 149 total publications and 3,630 total citations. She is noted as recently active, with her most recent publication in 2026.
