At the University of Lincoln, this week is Healthy Campus week. Set up by the university’s Students Union, the week proposes to immerse students in healthy living, from free sports events at the on-site leisure centre to stress relieving sessions.

Tagged as a time to ‘energise, enrich and enlighten’, the week aims to teach students how to improve their lifestyles and keep active. There will be various different sessions held throughout the week, at both the Brayford and Riseholm campuses, to reach out to all students.

Activities include well known sports such as mini football tournaments, squash, badminton, basketball and kick boxing, but will give students the chance to try something a bit different with futsal and body zorbing.

Body zorbing entails being harnessed into an inflatable ball, and participants can run, collide and roll around without injury. Jonathan Holmes, a second year Journalism student tasted the activity, saying “it’s very good fun, but also very tiring! It was hilarious to run around, bumping into people and not to hurt yourself.”

Healthy Campus week will be running until 4 March.
