Everyone knows consistent physical activity is key to building and maintaining a healthy body at every age. But it\u2019s hard to move when bones and muscles aren\u2019t working like they should.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s super important that we take care of our bones and muscles, minimizing the effects of aging and inactivity, so we’re able to continue doing all the things we know will bring us many health benefits,\u201d says Associate Professor of Kinesiology Michael Holmes.<\/p>\n

Holmes is currently at the helm of a 15-member group<\/a> of researchers investigating the many intricacies of how bones and muscles do \u2014 and don\u2019t \u2014 function, sharing their insights in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n

Now in its 10th year, Brock University\u2019s Centre for Bone and Muscle Health<\/a> is celebrating a decade of successes that form the foundation for future growth, says Holmes, Canada Research Chair in Neuromuscular Mechanics and Ergonomics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a recognized centre housed in an academic institution that is a trusted resource for people seeking health knowledge,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re not interested in recycling old material; the Centre is the place for advances in research and trustworthy, up-to-date information.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the past decade, member researchers and their teams have produced a variety of insights and discoveries, including:<\/p>\n
