Welcome to the Child and Adolescent Sport and Activity Lab (CASA). The CASA lab is part of the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta. Dr. Nicholas Holt is the lab director. Lab members are MA students Kacey Neely and Homan Lee, and PhD candidate Camilla Knight. We conduct studies in Alberta, Ontario, and the UK.
