MASTERS IN EXERCISE PODCAST

Dr Roig interviews leaders in the field of exercise prescription. He talks with prominent researchers who investigate how exercise can improve different aspects of quality of life in different populations and clinical groups. Conversations topics covers: what type of exercise is best to improve brain health and reduce age related cognitive decline and how can exercise improve mobility in people with neurological conditions such as patients with Stroke, Parkinson's Disease or Multiple Sclerosis.

AGING

We study the mechanisms that underlie age-related memory loss. To this end, we use behavioral and non-invasive brain stimulation to understand why, as we age, we experience problems to remember different types of information.

NEUROPLASTICITY

We investigate the mechanisms that support the brain changes that occur as a result of aging and the disease process as well as in response of other rehabilitative interventions involving exercise or non-invasive brain stimulation.

EXERCISE

We explore how to design novel and more effective exercise interventions to improve mobility and cognition for non-disabled people but also for people with neurological conditions such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease.

NEUROREHABILITATION

We combine different interventions (e.g. exercise) and techniques (e.g. non-invasive brain stimulation) to design treatments for people that need to recover after stroke or need too slow down their physical and cognitive deterioration.

CHECK OUT OUR PATIENT TRAINING PROGRAMS

Have you suffered a stroke or been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and are interested in exercise? We are running patient training programs. Training is free but we might ask you to participate in our research activities. These programs will improve your health and will allow us to learn more about how to improve exercise interventions for patients like you.
