Public lecture: Cardiac risks of excessive exercise: can too much physical activity damage the heart?

In this talk from November 2017 Professor David Stensel, Professor of Exercise Metabolism at Loughborough University, examines the most recent research in this area and questions whether it is now necessary to set an upper ‘safe limit’ for exercise.
