Exercise Physiology Lab
This lab allows space for several students to be able to learn and understand Exercise Physiology. The different portions of this lab include:
- Blood Glucose/Lipid Analyzer Systems to measure cholesterol, lipid and glucose levels in the bloodstream
- Mobile Blood Pressure Units used to measure blood pressure before, during, and after exercise
- Power Rack System with weight racks and free weights for students to practice resistance training techniques. These areas also allow students to practice how to instruct classmates or "clients" on proper form and benefits of resistance training
- Classroom Space Seating where students meet at the beginning of lab classes for the instructor to provide instructions and review previous week's materials. It is an area for students to work with classmates and ask questions
- Lifting Platforms with free weights, dumbbells and kettlebells
- Metabolic Cart System used to assess energy expenditure, oxygen consumption and exercise capacity
- Portable Blood Pressure Cuffs used during exercise stress testing
- Body Composition Assessment Lab: BodPod system is shown, In-Body and portable BIA units are also available for measuring body composition
- EKG Analyzer Systems to measure the electrical activity of the heart
- Oximeters to measure blood oxygen saturation
