The Role of Exercise in the Prevention and Treatment of Ischemic Stroke
For my Physiological Basis of Exercise as Medicine class, I worked on semester long project and presentation that focused on the role of exercise in the prevention and recovery treatment of ischemic stroke. The goal of this project was to develop a deeper understanding of the physiological mechanisms and science behind exercise as medicine, and to understand how exercise modifies physiological function into therapeutic and protective benefits for a wide range of chronic diseases/health risk factors.
