Physical activity and the endocrine system 2022

Event Information

The programme will highlight the relationships between physical activity, energy balance, cellular metabolism and the influence of endocrine sex differences in health and performance. This event is organised with early career researchers in mind and will provide a friendly environment to showcase their research and to network and engage with the key topics and researchers in the field. Last year we held a two day virtual conference that was received with huge success, we aim to build upon this event and bring together similar communities at our in person event.
