Professor of health and exercise science Appalachian State University
Now to the swine flu, or more properly, "novel H1N1."
The virus has already spread through a number of college football teams this fall. In fact, a CDC official recently was quoted as saying that the living, practice, and fatigue conditions of a college athletic team are just about the perfect breeding ground for a fast-spreading virus like the H1N1 variety.
Dr. David Nieman is an expert on immunity and a fellow with the American College of Sports Medicine. He speaks on the topic today with Sound Medicine's Steve Bogdewic.
Nieman is a Doctor of Public Health at Appalachian State University in North Carolina and a fellow with the American College of Sports Medicine.
