Dr. Taylor is an integrative physiologist with a research focus on the human cardiovascular system and the effects of aging, exercise, and pathophysiology. He has conducted clinical/translational research on cardiovascular autonomic control at Harvard Medical School for over twenty years. His work has ranged across various pathophysiologic conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome, disorders of sleep, and traumatic brain injury. A current primary area of research is exercise for those with spinal cord injuries to prevent inactivity-related cardiovascular deficits.

“This book offers a well-written and well-referenced comprehensive review of the physiological responses to exercise performed by people with spinal cord injury. … Rehabilitation clinicians are likely to find this book of particular interest, as will clinical researchers who are investigating this important and increasingly commonly studied topic. … a much needed and unmatched single comprehensive reference for professionals who are studying and designing clinical, community, or research programs on the topic of exercise for people with spinal cord injury.” (Elliot J. Roth, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2017)
