In this seminar Dr. Ananya Gupta will talk about the benefits of physical activity (PA), the evidence supporting PA and the recommended guidelines for PA in a healthy adult. In addition she will also discuss the importance of exercise physiology and how it can be applied in exercise testing in the evaluation of health, fitness and performance. We will also briefly discuss the basic principles underlying exercise prescription in healthy clients as well as in a clinical setting.

Dr. Ananya Gupta is a lecturer in the Discipline of Physiology. She is the Director of the MSc program in Exercise Physiology and Application in Therapy. She is also the founder and director of the Exercise Physiology Core Facility (EPCF) located in the Human Biology Building which is an integral part of the Discipline of Physiology, School of Medicine, University of Galway. The Facility is committed to a tripartite mission in which to advance the knowledge and practice of exercise physiology through supporting and advancing exercise physiology reesearch, providing professional training and mentorship to the next generation of exercise physiologists and to increase awareness about the importance of physical activity and physical fitness in lifelong health amongst the general population.
