How much daily exercise is required to have health benefits? Which diseases can be prevented and even treated with exercise? How can you exercise to prevent an overuse injury?   These are just three of the important questions you’ll hear the answers to in this Masterclass on the effects of exercise on your health. My guest on the podcast this week is Sport and Exercise Medicine Doctor, John Orchard, who has a combination career in professional sport and sports administration, clinical sports medicine practice and research. John and I studied Medicine together at the University of Melbourne, and John now works in Sydney where amongst other appointments he is Adjunct Professor at the School of Public Health, University of Sydney. John is well respected as one of the leading sport and exercise physicians in Australia, and indeed internationally. His main area of clinical specialisation is muscle and tendon injuries of the lower limb and his general research stream is sports injury epidemiology and prevention. Jo
