Exercise in health, disease and rehabilitation

The Sport and Exercise Sciences (SES) Research Group at Leeds brings together researchers from 10 separate Institutes in the University.

The group incorporates both multi- and inter-disciplinary research aimed at improving the understanding of the relationship between physical activity patterns, health and the predisposition to chronic diseases.
