Panagiota Klentrou Explained

Panagiota "Nota" Klentrou is a professor at Brock University known for her research on sport training in children. She is an elected fellow of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology.

Early life and education

Klentrou was born and raised in Athens, Greece. She received a B.Sc. (1981) in Physical Education and Sport Science from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and an MSc (1987) and PhD (1991) in Exercise Physiology from the University of Montréal, Québec, Canada. Klentrou joined Brock University in 1996 as an assistant professor and was promoted to professor in 2007. Klentrou has served as the chair of the department of kinesiology at Brock University (2006-2011), and the associate dean (2011–2020).[1] [2]

Klentrou served as president of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology from 2017-2019.[3]

Research

Klentrou's research uses applied and basic science approaches to study human performance and the implications of sport training primarily in children and youth.[4] [5] This includes investigations into how sexual maturation, exercise,[6] inflammation,[7] immune responses,[8] [9] adiposity and nutrition affect musculoskeletal growth[10] and development.[11] This research is trying to identify the cellular mechanisms that explain how exercise training[12] [13] and dietary choices [14] during childhood and adolescence affects lifelong bone health. Her research has connected intensive training for gymnastics with amenorrhea in women[15] and examined bone heatlh and recovery after exercise.[16] [17] She has also presented educational opportunities possible for training in rhythmic gymnastics.[18]
