The Journal of Physiology’s Virtual Journal Club meets online on the first and third Wednesday of each month. Each meeting explores a different paper, recently published in The Journal of Physiology. Discussions also consider best practice for publication. You can find out more about the Virtual Journal Club here.
In this Virtual Journal Club, host Vini Mariani will discuss the manuscript with authors Dr Gregory Grosicki and Dr Scott Trappe. The host will introduce the selected paper and his reasons for selecting it, before Gregory and Scott explain the rationale, methodology and the major findings of the study. The panel will then discuss the implications of their findings in the context of healthy aging, and the importance of practicing other exercise modalities, such as resistance training, in addition to endurance exercise during our lifespan.
Dr Russell Hepple, a Fellow on the Editorial Board of The Journal of Physiology, will speak about the key factors that led to the acceptance of this paper in The Journal. Questions can be submitted by the audience throughout the session and will subsequently be answered and discussed by the panel.
There will be a 30-minute networking session immediately after the Virtual Journal Club meeting where attendees will have the opportunity to meet and reflect on the conversations had during the meeting.
Registration is free for both members and non-members of The Society and will close at 23:59 BST on Monday 2 August.
