Exercise intervention for health - EXINH

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2017-389

 
Description of research activity:

The main objective of the EXINH research group is the design, application and execution of interventions based on physical exercise, as well as the study of the effects that this can have on people's health, whether at a preventive, therapeutic or simple physical conditioning level. The fields of action in which our research activity is currently being developed are varied, from the clinical field in collaboration with various public hospitals of the Valencian health system, the study of work-related problems in health personnel (orderlies, nursing staff, physiotherapists), non-health personnel (musicians, administrative staff, lorry drivers) and the effect of interventions with physical exercise on these problems, as well as in the field of sport. In view of the above, various lines of research have been underway for some time, and at present, numerous projects are being developed, with various scientific publications in prestigious journals, as well as participation in national and international congresses on subjects related to exercise and its effects on people's health.
