Networking | Public lectures

This lecture will focus on how Angus and his research team have developed new understanding of how the brain recruits skeletal muscle in elite athletes and clinical populations in a variety of conditions. This work has created new knowledge in potential interventions for enhancing athletic and physical performance (e.g. mobility), whether this be through protection of brain health in contact sport athletes or ameliorating sarcopenia in African populations.
