In episode 2 of our special series on the importance of physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, we talked all things exercise, brain, and infection, with Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose from the University of British Columbia, who is a Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity, Mobility, and Cognitive Neuroscience. We discussed the benefits of aerobic and resistance exercise for preserving brain health and how this serves as a model for the hypothesis that exercise can be beneficial in protecting the brain against some of the negative effects of a COVID-19 infection. As the Director of Aging, Mobility, and Cognitive Neuroscience lab and the recipient of CIHR funding, Dr. Liu-Ambrose will investigate the long lasting effects of a COVID-19 infection on the brain, and how lifestyle factors, including exercise, may afford protection against negative effects in her analysis of participants of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA).Follow her work via twitter: @UBC_CogMobLab.
