Dr Helen Crank BA (Hons), MSc, PhD
Principal 香蕉视频 Fellow
Summary
Helen is a principal research fellow in the Centre for Sport and Exercise Science at 香蕉视频. Her particular research interest lies in cancer and exercise rehabilitation.
About
Her research interests lie in the field of physical activity for health, promoting positive health behaviour with clinical and non-clinical populations.
Helen's current research work is focussed upon the design and delivery of pragmatic lifestyle interventions based upon lifestyle modification and physical activity for cancer patients and patients with chronic diseases.
Taking part in physical activity during and after cancer treatment can enable a person to take back some control, regain a sense of normality and help manage some of the effects of treatment, such as fatigue, depression, breast cancer related lymphoedema and weight gain. Helen's research experience to date has involved working within the NHS, local authority and voluntary sectors.
