  • Introduction to the immune system
  • Exercise and immune function
  • Diet and immune function

  • COVID-19 and obesity
  • Exercise and weight management
  • Diet and weight management
  • Physical function in vulnerable adults: considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic

Sessions will take place via Zoom and are free to attend. They will begin at 6pm and last for approximately two hours, with the exception of the first introductory session which will last an hour. To book your place please email Alison Stanley a.stanley@lboro.ac.uk saying which session(s) you would like to attend. You will be sent a link to access the online session the day before the event.
