Arqus Knowledge Pills: How Do Sports Impact Chronic Illness?
With the Olympics just around the corner, what better time to dedicate our 30th podcast to exploring an important topic: How can physical activity affect people with chronic conditions? What role does sport play in these patients’ lives and society’s perception of health? These are the questions at the heart of Claire Perrins’ research areas, which are discussed in the new Arqus Knowledge Pills podcast episode.
For the 30th episode of the Arqus Knowledge Pills “How do sports impact chronic illness?” we invited Claire Perrin, a sociologist of sport and health and professor at the University of Lyon 1, specialised in Vulnerabilities and Innovation in Sport. In this episode, she explains the transformative potential of sport for chronic patients, the role of sociology in shaping health practices, and the broader implications for social inequality.
As the Paris Olympics kick off, do not miss this insightful conversation on the evolving landscape of sport and health!
