The Human Performance Laboratory

The human performance laboratory is also located in Pershing Building, and is used by students and faculty for class and research efforts. The exercise physiology equipment is used for body composition (hydrostatic weighing equipment and skin calipers), flexibility (sit & reach and goniometers), strength testing (Cybex Isokinetic Dynamometer and grip strength dynamometers), and cardiovascular testing (treadmill, cycle ergometers, arm ergometer, computerized metabolic analysis cart, 12-Lead EKG cart, lactate analyzer, centrifuge, and sphygmomanometers). In addition, this lab contains equipment for statistical analysis and presentation of data (Computers, SPSS software for statistics, Microsoft Office software for presentation, and printers).
