<p>In this episode, I talked with Dr. Michelle Mottola, Professor in the School of Kinesiology at University of Western Ontario, Canada. Dr. Mottola has spent most of her research career studying exercise prescription in pregnant and post-partum women. Her research investigates the effects of maternal exercise on both the mother and the developing fetus. In this episode we talk precisely about exercise prescription in women during pregnancy. We discuss the benefits of exercise for both the mother and the child, precautions and contraindications and how exercise during pregnancy may affect the future cognitive and physical health of the offspring. The conversation was so interesting that we decided to have another episode in the near future to discuss exercise after giving birth (post-partum). You can follow her research at <a href="https://www.uwo.ca/fhs/EPL/">https://www.uwo.ca/fhs/EPL/</a></p>

Exercise after stroke with Dr. Ada Tang

In this podcast I interview leaders in the field of exercise prescription. I talk to prominent researchers who investigate how exercise can improve different aspects of quality of life in different populations and clinical groups. Our conversations cover several topics. For example, we discuss what type of exercise is the best to improve brain health and reduce age related cognitive decline or how can we use exercise to ensure an optimal development in children and mobility and quality of life in people with neurological and neurodegenerative clinical conditions.
