Tony Kesisoglou

Antonios Panagiotis Kesisoglou received a BSc (Hons) from the Kent school of Sports and Exercise Sciences in 2014. He then completed his MSc ''Optimal performance'' at the University of Kent. He is a UKSCA accredited coach and he currently works with GB-basketball youth programmes, Saracens RBS rugby club and Kent Crusaders basketball club.

Currently, a part of his PhD role has to do with teaching and delivering exercise programmes to elite academy athletes based in Canterbury. As an ex-professional athlete, Antonios has never stopped being involved with young athletes on a daily basis. His role in the academy involves fitness testing with athletes, movement screening/analysis and strength and conditioning support.

Antonios' research focus is looking at training science and training load for team sport athletes. In particular, he is investigating the training intensity-duration relationship. Apart from the traditional physiological approaches of training, Antonios' research is aiming to model a new method for training load, taking into account both physiological and cognitive demands placed by training stress. He is supervised by Professor Louis Passfield (University of Kent/Calgary University), Dr Andrea Nicolo (Foro Italico University of Rome) and Dr Chris Fullerton (University of Kent).
