Dr Glen Davison is Reader and Director of Research in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kent, where he also co-ordinates the Endurance Research Group. Glen’s research interests include: Nutrition and exercise immunology; interval training; and strategies to maintain optimal health and performance in athletes.

He has worked with amateur, elite and professional athletes from a range of sports, including football, rugby, hockey, athletics, triathlon and cycling.
This podcast has been recorded during the COVID-19 outbreak, so I ask Glen questions about why women seem to be at a reduced risk compared to men for Coronavirus, and whether, as a female, you can reduce your risk further. I also ask him about what exercise you should be doing to improve your immune response, both when you do not have the disease and when you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Glen also gives some tips on what nutrition and supplements could be used to improve an individual’s immune response, as well as his thoughts on differences that might occur in response to respiratory infections in female athletes.
