Daniel Traylor
BIO
Classes Taught
- Human Form and Function (HLTH 195)
- Integrated Human Anatomy and Physiology B (HLTH 302)
- Nutrition, Physiology, and Performance (HLTH 380)
Research Interests
Dr. Traylor's research explores how protein quality, amino acids, and exercise interact to influence muscle adaptation, recovery, and physical function across the lifespan. He has conducted studies on exercise performance, muscle damage and repair, and the role of nutrition in preventing age-related declines in strength and mobility.
