HUR & the KARE project were mentioned in BBC West
Midlands showing the benefits of HUR’s line that

training is crucial for balance, independence and mobility”, Prof. Anna
Whittaker.

(KARE)”-study, which is being conducted by the Physical Activity and
Nutritional Influences In Ageing (PANINI) project research group at the
University of Birmingham.
