Assistant professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Faroe Islands
Research interests
His primary research activities are related to inter-individual differences in human physiology. A central theme in his research is the interaction between genes, medicine, environment and physiology. The overaching aim is to unravel the impact of heritage on human adaptability to exercise training and regulation of physiological processes as well as the the implication of numerous pharmacological treatments on cardiovascular and muscular adaptations to exercise training.
General health effects of exercise training is another central theme. Exercise as prevention and treatment of lifestyle diseases - Exercise as Medicine concept. Physical activity and public health.
Tórur has successfully coordinated two highly demanding and comprehensive exercise training studies including both healthy (n=52) and diseased (n=169) individuals. Both studies included comprehensive state-of-the-art physiological measurements of training-sensitive physiological variables.
Teaching
Tórur has planned, organised and taught courses at Bachelor and Master level at the University of the Faroe Islands. His teaching includes several topics related to Exercise and Sports Sciences including acute exercise, exercise training, physiology, anatomy and statistics. In particular, cell metabolism, skeletal muscle, cardiovascular physiology, the nervous system and the health-beneficial effects of consistent exercise training constitute his main teaching topics.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
