He graduated (B.S.) from the School of Physical Education and Sports Science (DPESS) s of the Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH) in 1989, concluded his post-graduate studies in Sports Sciences (M.S.) in Syracuse University, NY, USA in 1991 and awarded a doctoral title (Ph.D.) by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC, USA in 1994. He worked as a faculty member in DPESS of DUTH during the period 2002-2015 and has been working in DPESS of University of Thessaly at Trikala as an associate professor in exercise biochemistry since October of 2015. His academic work is in the field of exercise physiology with emphasis in exercise-induced biochemical and molecular adaptations. Specifically, his research interests are focused in the study of exercise-induced inflammation, overtraining, developmental exercise physiology, strength and conditioning (mainly in football and basketball) and sports nutrition. His published work includes approximately 150 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals of well-established databases (~9.500 citations, h-index 49). He teaches exercise biochemistry, sports nutrition, conditioning methods και resistance exercise training.
According to dictionaries the term hybrid denotes something that is a combination of two different things. During the last 10 years a new training mode has emerged. A “hybrid” type of training which combines characteristics of endurance- and strengthening-type exercise. This training modality is “hybrid” in terms of the adaptations it elicits, i.e. a combination of endurance- and strength-like adaptations. As such, this offspring training may be considered a more complete type of training especially for clinical populations. In this session, Prof. Fatouros will present the most effective hybrid training modalities, how they are implemented and the scientific evidence of their effectiveness on cardiometabolic health and performance of previously inactive and clinical populations. Implementation issues such as the need for readiness evaluation, the FFIT principle etc. will also be discussed. Hybrid training is an evidence-based approach and can be incorporated in indoor and outdoor protocols
