About Dr. Antonis Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, PhD, MSc, BSc
Antonis Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, PhD, MSc, BSc, is a Senior Lecturer in Sports and Exercise Physiology with an interest in the links between exercise and inflammation both in healthy and in patient populations.
Antonis graduated from the School of Physical Education and Sports Science in Trikala Greece and was awarded an MSc in Applied Exercise Physiology and a PhD in Clinical Exercise Physiology from the University of Wolverhampton. During his studies he gained significant clinical experience working with various patient populations in the Action Heart cardiac rehabilitation unit. He has also worked with athletes as part of their scientific support team managing physiological testing and monitoring.
His research has focused mainly on patients with chronic inflammatory conditions and especially arthritis. Obesity, inflammation, exercise and their interactions have been the key areas of his investigations. Several of his publications have been used by various national and international bodies (such as the NICE and WHO) to produce guidelines for patient management.
Recently he has expanded his interests towards healthy individuals and recreational athletes, investigating the physiological effects of high-intensity or extreme-duration exercise. Moreover, he is now involved in a number of nutritional supplementation studies and also he is leading the development of a number of innovative products for health promotion.
