Exercise Physiology Laboratory
|
Our fully equipped Exercise Physiology Laboratory located in the GCRC is staffed by a faculty Director and a Research Assistant trained in Exercise Physiology. The Exercise Physiology Laboratory and staff provide investigators with expertise and exercise research equipment. The Laboratory includes a metabolic cart for collection of basal and exercise-associated metabolic data. Interfaced with the metabolic cart are a treadmill and computer-linked ergo meter. Simultaneous measures of whole blood lactate and glucose (and other biochemical determinations) are available using an automated analyzer. In addition, body composition can be determined in a satellite laboratory. Overall, this facility is devoted to excellence in research exercise physiology encompassing diverse studies in children, young adults, and healthy older individuals whether exercising acutely or participating in longer-term physical training.
