INSIGHTS Public Lectures at Newcastle University

Keeping healthy with sport and food: Run for your life

Curtis Auditorium

The 2023 Holmes Lectures will be given by researchers from the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Newcastle University. The lectures will explore how food, nutrition, sport and exercise can help keep you healthy for longer. Lectures will take place in the Curtis Auditorium, Herschel Building.Sports Science researchers in our Faculty of Medical Science explore the effects of exercise in everyone from young children, through to adults and elite athletes and sports teams like Newcastle Falcons and Newcastle Eagles. The NHS recommends that children and adults try to be physically active every day but how does exercise and being active have an impact on our health and wellbeing?

Our research explores such questions as how can exercise strengthen our immune system and help our bodies to fight diseases like cancer; how exercise builds strong muscles and bones to keep us healthy as we age and how can we help athletes recover more quickly after competing. Join our Sports Science researchers for an interactive lecture to discover more about this fascinating area.For group bookings and school visits, please email the Public Lectures office at public.lectures@ncl.ac.uk or telephone our booking voicemail line 0191 208 6136._________________________________________________Ticket Information<ul><li>Click 'Register' above and add your name and contact details into the short form.</li><li>This event will be held in-person in the <a href="https://roomfinder.ncl.ac.uk/building.php?exid=BLDCE36A8B1-FF36-40C8-A683-B6286C7A73D0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Curtis Auditorium, Herschel Building</a> at Newcastle University (NE1 7RU).</li><li>We operate a paperless ticketing system, so you do not need to print your tickets.</li><li>To avoid crowding, audience members are asked to arrive for events no earlier than 15 minutes before the advertised start time.</li><li>For more information about what to expect when attending a lecture visit: <a href="https://www.ncl.ac.uk/events/public-lectures/attending-a-lecture" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.ncl.ac.uk/events/public-lectures/attending-a-lecture</a></li></ul>Venue Details and Accessibility<ul><li>The Herschel Building is located a 3 minute walk from Haymarket Metro Station and Bus Station, and easily accessible by Public Transport.</li><li>The Curtis Auditorium is a tiered lecture theatre and has 8 designated spaces for wheelchair users, with flat level access.
