The ITM’s national CTSA partner, University of California, Irvine, will spearhead a national study investigating how physical activity impacts child health.
For years, we have known that exercise is important for a healthy, developing body, but we haven’t fully understood the biochemical mechanisms responsible for this. This program – which will include clinical centers, analysis sites, preclinical animal study sites and a bioinformatics center – will provide the most detailed information yet that can allow us to ‘prescribe’ the best form and amount of exercise most beneficial to each child.
