Assistant Professor, Exercise testing
Education
Description of my work
Dr. Zafeiridis is an Assistant Professor in “Exercise Testing” in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science at Serres, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. During his Master’s degree (1991-1994) he studied the physiological responses during prolonged running in thermal environments. In 1994 he was employed by Temple University Hospital, USA to deliver pulmorayrehabilitation services in an outpantient pulmonary rehabilitation program. During his Doctoral studies (Temple University, USA) he studied leptin responses to prolonged exercise as well as association of leptin with energy expenditure, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and hormones under the supervision of Drs. Paolone A. and Considine RV. During his Doctoral and Post-doctoral studies he received a teaching graduate assistantship (1995-1997) and worked in the Cardiovascular Research Laboratory at Temple University (1/1996-10/1997) participating in research grants by the American Heart Association and the National Institute of Health (K.B. Margulies). Next, Dr. Zafeirids was employed in the Division of Research of Cooper University Hospital (NJ, USA) as a Research Associate (11/1997-8/1999) conducting numerous basic and clinical reaserch studies sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Upon his return to Greece, he worked as a Physical Education Teacher and taught in the Physical Education and Sport Sciences Department (Thessaloniki and Serres) of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1999-2007). Since 2007, Dr. Zafeiridis is a faculty member at the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science at Serres, (Aristotle University). He is currently conducting research in the Exercise Physiology and Biochemistry Laboratory.
Dr. Zafeiridis has published 40 international peer reviewed papers in the area of Medicine, Exercise Physiology and Biochemistry, and Health Professions, and has presented over 50 research projects in conferences. His work has been internationally recognized (h index = 13) and has been cited by more than 650 other authors. He serves as a reviewer for several journals in the Exercise Physiology and health fields. Dr. Zafeirids has long-term research experience in both human subjects and animal models.
Research Interests
His research interests include (i) Exercise testing and prescription for promotion of health and improvement of athletic performance, (ii0 Hemodynamic, cardiovascular, metabolic, and hormonal responses during various forms of aerobic and resistance exercise, (iii) Child-adults differences in physiological responses during exercise.
Courses
Exercise Testing, Physiology, Exercise Physiology.
