Exercise, Cardiometabolic Health and Reproduction (EXCAR) Research Group
The Exercise, Cardiometabolic Health and Reproduction (EXCAR) Research Group aims to develop exercise training strategies to prevent lifestyle related diseases. We have a special focus on exercise as medicine in order to improve fertility and pregnancy outcome.
EXCAR was established in January 2015 with a grant from the Liaison Committee between the Central Norway Regional Health Authority and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The group is headed by Trine Moholdt.
