Associate Professor
Kent State University
Dr. Jajtner joined the Exercise Physiology faculty at Kent State in the Fall of 2016. He completed his Bachelor’s Degree and Valparaiso University, his Master’s Degree at Texas Christian University and his PhD. at the University of Central Florida. During his doctoral training, Dr. Jajtner’s research focused on exercise inflammation and the immune response to skeletal muscle damage resulting from resistance exercise. Dr. Jajtner's current research interests revolve around training load management and its implications for the immune system, and the health of athletes. Addtionally, Dr Jajtner is interested in the role the immune system plays in the recovery process following fatiguing exercise that causes exercise-induced muscle damage.
