Exercise and Movement Science
Â鶹ӰÒô’s Exercise and Movement Science Lab is a 7,800-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that provides students with contemporary, high-tech equipment to collect human physiological and biomechanical data.
The lab includes equipment to measure cardiopulmonary fitness, lung function, and body composition and perform biomechanical modeling. This hands-on experience enables students to enhance their understanding of the scientific principles underlying human movement and health and foster their ability to apply these principles to real-world scenarios, developing custom programs that improve human wellness and performance.
Through experiential research and engaging learning opportunities, the lab enhances students’ critical thinking and career readiness — ensuring they can excel in a variety of exercise science professions.
In the Exercise and Movement Science Lab, students benefit from cutting-edge technology and the best equipment in the exercise and science field, including:
square feet in the EMS Lab
frames per second from motion capture cameras
max speed on specialized treadmill with VO2max testing
The EMS Lab provides students with hands-on access to the best high-tech equipment in the exercise science field, preparing them for successful careers in a wide range of fitness and athletic settings such as personal training, exercise physiology, and physical therapy.
The EMS Lab offers a new and expanded capability to engage with external partners on research projects and internships that will help to drive the field of exercise science forward.
