About

Dr. Boris Cheval is an Assistant Professor at École Normale Supérieure de Rennes, France. His research primarily focuses on the psychological and physiological aspects of physical activity, including the effects of sedentary environments, the neural correlates of behavior towards exercise, and the impact of social support on physical activity in individuals with serious mental illness. Recent publications also explore the dynamics of physical effort in behavioral regulation and the cognitive mechanisms underlying physical activity motivation.
