| Description | Martial arts are high-energy activities that can improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, speed and flexibility.

In today’s Q&A, we speak to Dr Paloma Mari-Beffa, a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Bangor University in the UK about her research into the way martial arts make us more alert and vigilant, boost our concentration and improve wellbeing. |
