Human Performance Teaching Lab
The Human Performance Teaching Laboratory is equipped with sophisticated instrumentation
to teach students about the body's physiological responses to exercise. ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø faculty and students utilize the following laboratory technologies in
their research:
Metabolic Cart
Used to quantify oxygen consumption and energy expenditure in subjects
Underwater or Hydrostatic Weighing System
Used to measure body composition using Archimedes' Principle, residual lung volume,
and water displacement.
Cybex Isokinetic Dynamometer
Used to measure force production using a multitude of isokinetic variables in conjunction
with different eccentric and concentric movements.
Electrocardiographer
Used to measure electrical changes in the heart
