Physiology graduates contribute £22.6 billion to the UK economy every year
A new report launching in Parliament today and featuring a case study from the Centre for Human & Applied Physiological Sciences (CHAPS) at King’s College London shows that physiology graduates contribute £22.6 billion to the UK economy ever year. This is equal to supporting 777,200 jobs.
Leading the international effort against doping in sports
The Drug Control Centre (DCC) is King’s flagship anti-doping laboratory with IEC/ISO 17025 accreditation. The laboratory sits within King’s Forensics, in the Department of Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences (AEFS) and brings together experts of analytical chemistry and bioanalytical research into drug metabolism and the detection of substances used to enhance sporting performance.
Aircrew conditioning programme aids pilots in their fight against high G forces.
Researchers at the Centre for Human & Applied Physiological Sciences at King’s, in close partnership with the RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine, and Squadron Leader Ellen Slungaard, designed an innovative and novel Aircrew Conditioning Programme (ACP) to target the specific needs of aircrew. In 2011, a devastating fatal crash by pilot Jon Egging, brought the incapacitating effects of G-force into public consciousness.

Researchers awarded £1.3m to study the physiology of healthy human ageing
A team from the Centre for Human & Applied Physiological Sciences has been awarded a grant by Nadace The JetBrains Foundation, to explore the effects of inactivity on human ageing processes and physiological function.
Professor Steve Harridge discusses science and the new frontiers at Parliamentary Link Days
Professor Harridge took part in the Royal Society of Biology’s (RSB) annual Parliamentary Links Day, which brings together politicians and representatives from a range of STEM disciplines. (Photo credit: RSB) On Tuesday 25 June, RSB held their annual Parliamentary Links Day on behalf of the science and technology community. The event, held this year in the Attlee Suite in Portcullis House, brings together researchers, policymakers and sector leaders to discuss the future of science.
É possível combater o envelhecimento com exercícios fisicos?

A cabinet source has told the BBC the date the prime minister has in mind is 30 June, but with an option to go beyond that if necessary.
Can exercise reverse the ageing process?

Setting multiple world athletics records in her age category, she is one of a growing band of "master athletes" who represent the extreme end of what is physically possible later in life.

Why do athletes 'recover' in an ice bath? Does it work?
Despite being freezing, the general idea is that soaking in a sub-zero tub will reduce inflammation leading to reduced soreness and improved recovery. However, what is the scientific basis for why some athletes ice their muscles after exercise and does it even work? Stephen Harridge, Professor of Human & Applied Physiology at King’s and lecturer on the Sports & Exercise Medical Sciences BSc programme, comments on the latest research into post-exercise cooling.

Going from a crouched stationary position to maximum running velocity in a few seconds and within a few strides is a complex biomechanical phenomenon.
Major features of immunesenescence, including reduced thymic output, are ameliorated by high levels of physical activity in adulthood
1 INTRODUCTION Aging is accompanied by a decline in immune competence, termed immunesenescence, which is characterized by an increased risk of infections and chronic inflammatory diseases, poor vaccine efficacy, failure to maintain immunity to latent infections such as Varicella Zoster and increased autoimmunity (DiCarlo, Fuldner, Kaminski & Hodes, 2009; Montecino-Rodriguez, Berent-Maoz & Dorshkind, 2013).
