Anastasios Theodorou

Anastasios Theodorou is an Associate Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at the European University Cyprus, part of the School of Sciences. He holds a PhD in Physical Education and Sport Science from the University of Thessaly (2011), with research focused on antioxidant supplementation and exercise physiology. His employment history includes roles as a Researcher (2011-2014), Lecturer (2014-2018), Assistant Professor (2018-2022), and currently Associate Professor since 2022.

His research interests center on redox biology, exercise-induced oxidative stress, and personalized nutrition. Key projects include the Muscle-X study (Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation, 2020–present) examining muscle fiber responses in cerebral palsy patients, and the EXITCAN project (European Commission, 2020–present) exploring exercise interventions for children with cancer. He has also led projects on elderly exercise devices and passive smoking effects.

Theodorou’s publications emphasize redox homeostasis, antioxidant effects, and eccentric exercise adaptations. Over 30 articles span topics like vitamin C’s role in physical performance and L-citrulline supplementation’s vascular effects. He collaborates with international journals and institutions, focusing on translational research linking redox biology to clinical applications.

While no formal awards are listed, his contributions to redox physiology and exercise science have advanced understanding of individualized interventions. He advises on research councils and editorial boards, promoting evidence-based practices in sports medicine and nutrition.
