Panagiota "Nota" Klentrou is a professor at Brock University known for her research on sport training in children.
[3] 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 health and recovery after exercise.
