Exercise Physiology Lab

The Exercise Physiology Lab is also know as the Human Performance Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education (KHE) provides body composition assessments and research opportunities for faculty and students using calipers (skin folds), hydrostatic weighing, and upper, lower and full body impedance. The BOD POD is one of our newest pieces of equipment. It is state-of-the-art equipment in the field of body composition and may eventually replace hydrostatic weighing, which has been considered the “gold standard” for more than 40 years.

On going funding is needed to maintain the lab to allow our students to perform and apply the most up to date knowledge in exercise physiology.
