Exercise Physiology Lab Director
Bio-sketch
The Exercise Physiology Lab offers services for studies to assess exercise performance, physical activity, cardiovascular function, quality of life, and body composition. The lab also provides support to administer interventions utilizing aerobic exercise in various study populations. The exercise personnel are experienced in providing a balance of patient care and safety while performing these complex asessments and interventions.
