Biography

David N. Proctor studies the physiology of aging and exercise, focusing on cardiovascular responses to exercise along with the regulation of skeletal muscle blood flow and adaptations in both skeletal muscle and vascular systems. As a member of the KINES Research Graduate Faculty at Penn State College of Health and Human Development, he is involved in understanding the functional consequences of cardiovascular aging and sex-specific mechanisms that govern these processes. His research also examines potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate the effects of aging on the cardiovascular system. Through his work at the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, he investigates the effects of arterial and cardiac stiffness on muscle blood flow during rest and exercise, contributing significant insights into vascular physiology and exercise medicine.
