Physical Activity for a Long and Healthy Life (FINE)

July 31, 2018 updated by: Bente Merete Stallknecht, University of Copenhagen

Physical Activity for a Long and Healthy Life - Project FINE

The aim of the study is to 1) delineate the molecular mechanisms behind the large variation in insulin sensitivity among apparently healthy subjects and to 2) establish the dose-response relationship between physical training and a) metabolic health, b) appetite and c) cultural health.
