Description

For some time, we've known that physical activity is good for both our body and brain. Now, emerging research is just beginning to show us something else: It may not be just a matter of being physically active itself, or a matter of what types of physical activity you do, but WHERE you actually do your physical activity may be an important and determining factor in the benefits you get out of it. Here to discuss this is Professor David Lubans of The University of Newcastle in Australia.

UP ON OUR FEET is a production of the American Sports Institute.
