About
The laboratory is used to test maximum work capacity and fitness when running and cycling in many different groups such as children, elderly, patients, pregnant women, students and athletes. Typical projects are to study how fitness develops through puberty or the effect of a period of endurance training.
Methods
Note: The list is
1) Not exhaustive
2) We will discuss where (in which laboratory) we will place the various equipment.
- Treadmill.
- Cycle ergometer.
- Ergospirometry equipment for measuring oxygen uptake.
- Lactate analyzer. - Heart rate monitor.
- EKG machine.
- Pulse oximetry for measuring the blood's oxygen saturation.
- Physioflow, for noninvasive assessment of the heart's pumping capacity during work.
- Echocardiography for ultrasound examination of the heart.
The examination provides information about the structure and function of the heart.
Teaching
