UNIVERSITY RESEARCH TEAM ORGANISES ARM-CRANK SPIN CLASSES
Places are now available to join arm-cycling classes based at the University of Birmingham’s MoveWell Centre.
A team from the university’s Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences department has been working with staff at the Matt Hampson Foundation and have now established a programme of arm-cycling classes.
Sessions are open to people with limited lower-limb mobility, including as a result of spinal core injury and other disabilities.
Email s.chiou@bham.ac.uk for further information or to book sessions at the MoveWell Centre (post code B15 2TT).
The university team has also produced a series of arm-cycling videos in conjunction with the Matt Hampson Foundation to help participants try sessions at home, in the park or in a gym to help keep active. See the series using this link.
As part of the university’s continuous research, they have created an eight-week programme for home-based arm cycling exercise to improve core function.
