I am Reza Farzizadeh, an Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology at University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. My academic and educational path began during high school in the field of Physical Education. After obtaining my diploma in this discipline, I continued my higher education at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, where I earned my Master’s degree in 2010 and my Ph.D. in 2016, both in Exercise Physiology.

Since 2017, I have been serving as a faculty member at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. Over the years, I have held the position of Head of the Exercise Physiology Department for a total of four years across two terms. In addition, I currently serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal Exercise Physiology of Special Populations, published under the auspices of the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. I have also had the honor of serving as the faculty advisor of the Scientific Association of Exercise Physiology for six years.

My interest in exercise physiology began in my adolescence, and today, alongside teaching students, conducting scientific research, and managing academic and cultural activities, I strive to advance knowledge and promote the practical applications of exercise physiology.
