Active Wellbeing
Active Wellbeing & Brain Health
Regular physical activity at university does more than strengthen your body — it strengthens your brain. Research by Dr Donald Lyall shows that moving more can improve memory, focus, and mood. At UofG Sport, every workout, walk, or class helps boost resilience and supports your mental and academic wellbeing.
- Stay active and improve blood flow
