Researchers look at exercise as new way to slow degenerative processes of ALS
University of Alberta researchers are looking at exercise as a new way to slow the degenerative processes of ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Dr. Kelvin Jones, a recipient of this year’s ALS Canada Discovery Grant, has been pioneering research in this field for four years, using mice genetically altered to present familial ALS. He’s found that exercise has a positive impact on the mice, slowing the disease significantly.
