ARCHEOPHYSIOLOGY (archeophysiology) It is a term created to describe the combination of two different branches of science archeology and physiology. The term was first created and used in 2017 by the professors: Flouris Andreas - Koutentankis Ioannis (School of Physical Education and Science of the University of Thessaly,Trikala - Greece).- Ken Wardle - Dianne Wardle (Department of Archeology, University of Birmingham, UK) and MSc students Petmezas Stavros and Asimoglou Panagiotis (School of Physical Education and Science of the University of Thessaly,Trikala - Greece). Was used for the first time in the MSc thesis of the above mentioned students, in which the studied and analyzed the battles described in the Homers "Book of Iliad" in combination with the use of an exact copy of the Mycenaean Dedra panoply (dated circa 1500 B.C). The first purpose of the research was to recreate the battles of Trojan War described in "Iliad" so to decide if the panoply was ceremonial or combatant. The second goal is to create a new training system for military personel based on the principals of ancient war fighting and training, so the modern troops can use their body weight and the weight of their equipment for physical training. The first bublication (pilot experiment) of their research was during the 4th International Congress on Soldier's Physical Perfomance (http://www.icspp-australia2017.org/) in Melbourne, Australia in Dec 2017.
