Human Performance Lab

ExercisePhysio

The Human Performance Laboratory is a teaching and research facility within the Department of Exercise Science. Our mission is to provide undergraduate students working towards a B.S. in exercise science with learning and research opportunities in the field of exercise physiology.

The Human Performance Laboratory is divided into two units: Physical Learning Center 131 and Rockwell 316. Both units are dedicated to the development of research interests and to conducting meaningful scientific research. The laboratories contain equipment for training in blood pressure measurement, bicycle and treadmill exercise testing, body composition assessment, biochemistry, and health/fitness evaluation. This equipment includes:
