Doctoral School in Medicine, Biomedical Science and Technology at Aalborg University
Welcome to Is exercise medicine? Effects of exercise in different clinical populations
Program: HES (also relevant for CSLTM, BEN, and HCHPO)
Description:
It is widely recognized that regular physical activity and exercise promote major overall health benefits, and the use of specific exercise is now also being implemented in the health care system to induce positive outcomes in patients suffering from various diseases. As such, “Exercise is medicine” is frequently being marketed by the American College of Sports Medicine to promote the use of exercise in the rehabilitation/treatment of various diseases.
This PhD course will focus on the effects of exercise on diseases such as cancer, tendinopathy, spinal cord injury and obesity. The effect of exercise in the ageing population will also be covered.
As exercise needs to be tailored to the individual in order to have maximum effect, the practical implementation as well as barriers to exercise will be covered as well.
