Her research focuses on the biological, biochemical, hormonal, and behavioral determinants of overweight and obesity. A second area of scientific interest is the effectiveness of selected physiotherapeutic methods in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with various motor system dysfunctions. Currently, she is conducting research on the effects of health training on levels of selected adipokines in men with metabolic syndrome, as well as the impact of vibrotherapy treatments on blood biochemical markers in individuals with overweight.
