E109 Inflammation and health with Gary Farkas, Sven Hoekstra and Christof Leicht

Dr Gary Farkas, Dr Sven Hoekstra and Dr Christof Leicht are the co-authors of a chapter in the Routledge Handbook of Disability Sports Science entitled "Inflammatory responses to exercise and related health interventions". Gary, Sven and Christof talk to us about what inflammation is, the impact inflammation has on health and disease, and how exercise and other factors such as heat, cold and diet help to mitigate inflammation and thereby improve health and disease risk.
