Dr. Moghaddam enjoys spending time in the laboratory while mentoring students for their research projects.

Research Interests

Dr. Moghaddam's research interest is centered on developing scientific methods for investigating: (1) the effects High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on body composition, anaerobic, and aerobic performance; (2) the non-invasive study of neuromuscular adaptations to strength and conditioning programs; (3) the cardiorespiratory adaptations of training interventions; and (4) the long-term athletic development.
- High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
- Neuromuscular Adaptations to Resistance Training
- Strength & Conditioning Programs
- Cardiovascular Adaptations to Exercise
- Athletic Development
Teaching Philosophy

As I continue to entrench my core values into my teaching, I gain more motivation to continue my journey as an educator. My overarching goal as a teacher is to inspire my students because I am truly inspired by the quote from William Arthur Ward that says, “The mediocre teacher tells; the good teacher explains; the superior teacher demonstrates; and the great teacher inspires.”
