Keeping healthy with sport and food (part 2): Run for your life
Sports Science researchers in our Faculty of Medical Science explore the effects of exercise in everyone from young children, through to adults and elite athletes and sports teams like Newcastle Falcons and Newcastle Eagles. The NHS recommends that children and adults try to be physically active every day but how does exercise and being active have an impact on our health and wellbeing?
Our research explores such questions as how can exercise strengthen our immune system and help our bodies to fight diseases like cancer; how exercise builds strong muscles and bones to keep us healthy as we age and how can we help athletes recover more quickly after competing. Join our Sports Science researchers for an interactive lecture to discover more about this fascinating area.
