***Face to face and online lectures***
Description:
It is widely recognized that regular physical activity and exercise promotes 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.
Literature:
A reading list with relevant papers and book chapters will be announced before the course.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge on anatomy, physiology and exercise prescription is desirable.
Evaluation:
A multiple-choice test will be used to evaluate the student’s outcome of the course.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registration.
