Human Performance Laboratory
The mission of this laboratory is to improve the scientific understanding of human movement using physiological measurement tools; to educate undergraduate and graduate students in the use of and basis behind these tools; to train students to professionally apply their knowledge in all clinical and practical applications of exercise testing and measurement; and to provide a regional community resource for body composition and other physiological testing. Programs involve student laboratory work and ongoing graduate student and faculty research involving acute and chronic exercise performance in the following areas of interest: exercise physiology, body composition, exercise metabolism (glucose, lactate, lipids, etc.), ergonenic aids (creatine, etc.), diabetes, and oxygen consumption (VO2 reserve).
