Dr. Susan Marzolini is a Clinician Scientist, and Exercise Physiologist at KITE, Toronto Rehab/UHN’s Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation program and Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Toronto. Her clinical and research objective is to advocate for increasing the opportunity for women with stroke and heart disease, as well as people with disability to access structured physical activity and risk factor modification programs and to optimize health-related outcomes. Dr. Marzolini also investigates the dose-response relationship between exercise and health-related outcomes as well as sex and gender interactions related to these outcomes in randomized controlled trials. Using novel exercise training methods and combinations of exercise strategies her aim is to determine an exercise treatment aimed at improving cardiorespiratory fitness, promoting long-term health, and repairing the brain and heart. Another mission is to determine why fewer women and racially diverse people participate in research studies following heart disease, stroke and other chronic conditions. Her aim is to determine methods to improve participation to help enhance cardiovascular recovery and prevention research.
