Facilities: Undergraduate Exercise Physiology Teaching Laboratory
The teaching lab has approximately 1000 square-feet of space that is separate from the research laboratory space.
The undergraduate teaching lab is constructed to teach students how to:
- Measure and monitor blood pressure and heart rate (via both ECG and with heart rate monitors)
- Assess body composition using skinfold calipers, circumferences and hydrostatic weighing methods.
Additionally, students are taught:
- to determine maximum anaerobic power
- to determine maximal and submaximal oxygen consumption
- to perform basic pulmonary function measures
Students are expected to participate and gain practical experience during several different undergraduate laboratory experiences.
