Giulia Coletta, PhD
Dr. Giulia Coletta is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Active Aging Research Team at the University of British Columbia. Giulia earned her PhD from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Her PhD research focused on promoting physical activity to improve mobility and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults. Giulia developed and delivered in-person and virtual community-based group exercise programs focusing on resistance training. Her current work focuses on supporting the implementation and effectiveness of Choose to Move – a choice-based physical activity intervention that supports low active older adults in British Columbia to become more physically active and socially connected. Giulia’s overarching goal is to improve older adults’ quality of life and extend their health span by narrowing the gap between research and practice.
