Egil Ivar Johansen

Egil Ivar Johansen is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physical Performance, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. His research focuses on exercise physiology, metabolism, and sports nutrition, with particular emphasis on how dietary interventions and training regimens affect physical performance and metabolic health.

Dr. Johansen investigates topics including:

• Effects of caloric restriction and meal timing on metabolism
• Carbohydrate-protein interactions during exercise recovery
• High-fat diets combined with aerobic exercise
• High-intensity interval training adaptations
• Metabolic responses to endurance and strength training

His recent publications (15 most recent shown) demonstrate consistent focus on human performance optimization through nutritional and exercise interventions, with studies examining both athletic populations and clinical groups (e.g., overweight/obese individuals, those with metabolic disorders). Research consistently features randomized controlled trials and mechanistic physiological investigations.

Dr. Johansen collaborates extensively with national and international research teams, contributing to multi-institutional studies on exercise metabolism and sports nutrition.
