The lab has a variety of exercise ergometers and gas analysis systems to measure metabolic rate. The lab has ECG and pulmonary function equipment. The biochemistry equipment is extensive. Thus the lab has the capabilities for measuring body fluids and muscle metabolites, enzymes, and substrates. Measurement of body composition is accomplished by both skinfold measurement and underwater weighing.
Computers are available for data analysis and reduction.
The Health Science Library and Davis Library provide the Exercise Physiology student with a wide variety of resources which meet the reference needs of even the most demanding student. There are multiple treadmills and cycle ergometers to complete the exercise tests. Other ECG's also exist within the Lab. A computerized spirometry system allows for easy measurement of pulmonary functions. The body composition area has a calibrated scales, statiometer, skinfold calipers, and a computerized underwater weighing system.
