Professor
Get to know Dr. Panton
Interests
Dr. Panton’s research interests are in the area of exercise training and its effects on body composition, muscular strength and functional outcomes of healthy older adults and chronically diseased populations. Her recent research has focused on the effects of resistance training and functional impact training in women breast cancer survivors.
Education
Dr. Panton went to Lely High School in Naples, Florida. She did her BS in Psychology at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. She did her Master’s degree and Ph.D. at the University of Florida in Exercise Physiology.
