Elderly Exercise Discussed with Professor Cassandra Phoenix on BBC Radio 4's Inside Health Programme
In the realm of health and aging, the benefits of physical activity have been extensively researched and demonstrated by the Department. This week, Professor Cassandra Phoenix, who leads the Moving Bodies Lab as part of the Wellcome funded Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities at Durham, contributes to a discussion on promoting healthier ageing through physical activity on BBC Radio 4's Inside Health programme.
Professor Phoenix, who is also the Professor of Physical Activity and Health, delves into the topic with a unique approach. Her work at the Moving Bodies Lab, located within the Department at Durham, advocates the combination of knowledge from different disciplines and applied practices (physiology, psychology, sociology, policy, etc.) in understanding sport, physical activity, and health.
The discussion, which is part of the Sport and Exercise Sciences research field, takes place on BBC Radio 4's Inside Health programme. The Inside Health episode, titled 'Promoting Healthier Ageing Through Physical Activity', will air on Tuesday 17th October at 9pm and again at 3:30pm on Wednesday 18th October.
Social and environmental factors can impact people's ability to capitalise on the health benefits of physical activity, often in unequal ways. This is an important aspect that Professor Phoenix is expected to address during the discussion.
The Inside Health programme, broadcast on BBC Radio 4, is part of a radio series that explores various aspects of health and wellbeing. The episode discussing healthier ageing through physical activity will be available to download on BBC Radio Sounds following its broadcast.
