After doing primarily research testing, the Human Performance Laboratory is now offering its services to everyone. Lactate threshold measurement - We will determine your lactate response during a maximal exercise test to help determine the velocity at which you can compete before lactate builds up and causes fatigue. Underwater weighing - During this test, we measure your percentage of body fat using hydrodensitometry and nitrogen washout.
Underwater weighing is the gold standard for body composition determination.
Resting Metabolic Rate Measurement - During this test, your metabolic rate is monitored so you will know how many calories per minute you are expending. This is a great test for anyone beginning a weight loss program. This is extremely useful for those athletes that compete in short term power events. This battery is designed for individuals that want to start an exercise program, but need an indication of their general, overall fitness capability. Additionally, we will give you a personalized exercise prescription based on your capability.
