Professor Marziyeh Saghebjoo is a leading scholar in exercise physiology whose research has significantly advanced understanding of exercise–induced metabolic regulation, obesity management, and clinical exercise interventions. Her academic influence is demonstrated through 373 citations by 327 documents, 55 publications, and an h-index of 12, reflecting sustained contributions to sport sciences and human metabolic health. Her work spans exercise nutrition, weight-control mechanisms, hormonal responses to training, and exercise-based strategies for chronic disease prevention, with a strong emphasis on obesity, hypertension, and cancer-related metabolic pathways. She has produced impactful studies on high-intensity interval training, combined dietary–exercise models, home-based cardiovascular rehabilitation, and exercise–nutrient interactions, including investigations into gut microbiota modulation, insulin sensitivity, inflammatory markers, and molecular regulators such as miRNAs, VEGF, HIF-1α, ghrelin, and obestatin. Her collaborations with multidisciplinary research teams in physiology, nutrition, biochemistry, and clinical sciences have resulted in publications in internationally indexed journals and translational outputs relevant to public health and athletic performance. In addition to her research productivity, she has contributed to scientific dissemination through editorial board service and active involvement in professional academic committees, helping shape research quality, ethics, and development in sport sciences. Her scholarship consistently integrates laboratory, clinical, and performance-based methodologies, generating evidence that supports healthier lifestyles, improved metabolic outcomes, and enhanced exercise-based therapeutic interventions. Through her sustained commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and mentoring future researchers, Professor Saghebjoo continues to influence global discussions on exercise, health, and metabolic disease prevention.
