Biography

Dr Ole Kemi is an interdisciplinary scientist with particular expertise in cardiovascular and exercise physiology.

Dr Kemi trained for and received a BSc in medicine and sports science from the University of Tromso, Norway, an MSc in exercise science from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, and as a university research fellow, a PhD in molecular medicine from the NTNU.

He has also taught exercise science, medicine, and biomedicine at the NTNU and the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA.

Dr Kemi's academic work has a focus on the effect of exercise and exercise training on the human body.

He researches and teaches the limits of physical capacity, performance and exercise effects in humans that may be elite athletes, patients with disease, or anyone in between.

Employing physiologic and performance measurements, he has shown that the greater the exercise effort, the greater the exercise benefit.

To understand the underlying mechanisms of this, he employs experimental models of heart disease and exercise training, coupled with advanced microscopy and other physiologic, biochemical and molecular assays, with which he has shown that hearts and blood vessels i) suffer a loss of function by heart disease, ii) gain function after exercise training in an exercise intensity-dependent manner, and iii) regain function by exercise training if first suffering loss of function by heart disease.

At the University of Glasgow, Dr Kemi's continues to research and teach exercise, cardiovascular, cellular, and integrative physiology and biology, all the while continuing to show that exercise is pretty dynamic, we should do more of it, and it has the power to make good things happen.

 

 

Research interests

Dr Kemi researches the effects of exercise and exercise training on the function of the body and its integrative systems, organs and cells.

Current studies:

  • Cardiovascular and skeletal muscle systems in health and disease and after the influence of exercise.
  • Appropriate determination, control, and effect of exercise intensity and exercise capacity under different stress conditions.
  • Physical and physiologic determinants of performance in elite, academy and sub-elite athletes in different sports.
  • Determinants of rock climbing and movement in the mountain environment.
