The Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health’s (ISEH) Dr Snehal Pinto Pereira, Associate Professor in Population Health and Applied Statistics and Dr Rachael Frost, Senior Research Fellow from UCL have developed a helpful video go-to guide to raise awareness of the importance of participating in activities that build muscle strength – which is vital for all of us, and especially important as we get older. 

In the video they explain the health and wellbeing benefits of muscle strength and share helpful and practical advice on how people can get started on their journey to become stronger.
