Nutrition and Exercise
Developing nutrition and exercise interventions
Healthy eating and regular physical activity are essential for preventing diseases and promoting recovery. The Nutrition and Exercise research group supports vulnerable groups, such as children and older adults, in maintaining and improving a healthy lifestyle. Researchers in this group develop and evaluate measures for nutrition and exercise to help people stay healthy and function better in daily life.
