Dr Tracey Clissold - bone health
Dr Clissold has been a lecturer in Sports Science and Nutrition for over 30 years. After a stress fracture prevented her participating at the 1996 Olympic Games as a marathon runner, she felt frustrated by the lack of accurate and available information about how to make our bones strong. This led to undertaking research in the area of preventative bone health and being part of a team that has developed the App OSTEO-GAINS. Tracey is excited to share how easy it is to fit a brief (but effective) bone-building exercise routine into your busy life. Find out more at osteo-gains.com
