Professor Mehdi Kargarfard studied exercise physiology at the Tarbiat Modares University in Iran, completing his doctorate in exercise- based cardiac rehabilitation in 2000. In 1994, he joined the Faculty of Sport Sciences, Department of Exercise Physiology, at the University of Isfahan. His research interests are the integration of exercise physiology and applied clinical exercise science to health promotion and disease prevention and treatment throughout the lifespan.
