Rate My Professor Siri Szlezak

An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP), Szlezak's research interests encompass exercise immunology, sports science, exercise physiology, human performance, sport physiology, mental health, and telehealth. Her publications include 'Fall for Life: Using the principles of Ukemi to minimise injury in the older vulnerable population: A feasibility study' (2024), 'Establishing a dose-response relationship between acute resistance-exercise and the immune system: Protocol for a systematic review' (2016), 'Decrease of DHEA-S concentration succeeding a micro-dose thumb exertion: mood-state determinants reflect stress-biomarker responses' (2016), 'Isometric Thumb Exertion Induces B Cell and T Cell Lymphocytosis in Trained and Untrained Males: Physical Aptitude Determines Response Profiles' (2016), and 'Micro-dose of resistance-exercise: Effects of sub-maximal thumb exertion on leukocyte redistribution and fatigue in trained male weightlifters' (2015), with a total of 49 citations. She contributes as a co-investigator to projects such as a chair-based exercise program aimed at reducing deconditioning and maintaining activities of daily living in older hospitalized adults, and 'Active Pathways,' a pilot evaluating sport-based social prescribing for improving physical health, psychosocial wellbeing, and social connectedness in adults with chronic conditions. Szlezak also functions as a Clinical Supervisor and Facilitator for Clinical Exercise Physiology students at Southern Cross University.
