Rate My Professor June Lee

June Lee is an associate professor in the Department of Applied Human Sciences at the University of Minnesota Duluth, a position she has held since August 2016. She serves in the Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences program within the College of Education and Human Service Professions. Her research specializes in population-based physical activity interventions that incorporate innovative technologies, including exergaming, mobile applications, and virtual reality exercise. These interventions aim to enhance physical activity behaviors and psychosocial outcomes, with studies initially targeting children and later extending to adults, college students, and older populations. Lee teaches courses in the Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences program, fostering collegiality and professional growth among students.

Lee has an active publication record in peer-reviewed journals. Notable works include "Comparison of ActiGraph CentrePoint Insight Watch Placement on Dominant and Nondominant Wrists in Young Adults in Free-Living Conditions: Observational Validation Study" published in JMIR mHealth and uHealth (2025), "Efficacy of Mobile Applications and Face-to-Face Social Interaction on Physical Activity, Motivation and Self-Efficacy in Insufficiently Active College Students" in the International Journal of Digital Health and Telemedicine (2025), "Effects of home-based exergaming on preschool children’s cognition, sedentary behavior, and physical activity: A randomized crossover trial" in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity - Health (2023), and "Promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior to prevent chronic diseases during the COVID Pandemic and beyond" in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (2022). Additional contributions cover topics such as virtual reality exercise for anxiety and depression, motion sensor reliability in exergaming, and motor skill competence in physical activity promotion. In 2025, she co-received a Chancellor’s Innovation Grant for “The Physiologic and Neurophysiologic Impact of Exercise with Virtual Reality Compared to Exercise Alone: A Randomized Control Trial.” Lee also serves on the UROP Selection Committee through June 2026, contributing to undergraduate research opportunities at the university.
