Cho's scholarly work centers on gamification mechanics in fitness applications, the psychological impact of new media on exercise motivation, and information communication technologies' role in sport tourism resilience. He investigates how crises like the COVID-19 pandemic reshape consumer risk perception, emotional responses, and digital engagement patterns within sport ecosystems.

Analysis of his 2021-2023 publications reveals three dominant thematic clusters: (1) pandemic-driven disruptions to sport tourism and travel behavior, (2) digital influencer dynamics in home fitness adoption, and (3) gamification efficacy in mHealth applications. His interdisciplinary approach integrates sport management, behavioral psychology, and human-computer interaction frameworks to address real-world crises.

Dr. Cho maintains active advising relationships with graduate students in sport management though specific advisee names aren't documented. His research is supported by institutional resources at York College, with no externally disclosed grant funding visible in current records. The Graham School of Business provides infrastructure for his work on digital sport innovation and crisis response modeling.
