Exercise Science Programs - Laboratory Facilities
The Department of Exercise Science has a well-equipped Exercise Psychology and Cognition and Skill Acquisition Laboratories. The Exercise Psychology Lab is equipped for assessing psychophysiological phenomena including GSR, ECG, EMG, EEG, impedance electrocardiography, beat-to-beat blood pressures and polysomnography under controlled conditions. The Cognition and Skill Acquisition Laboratory is equipped for assessing human cognition, information processing, and learning. Interdisciplinary research is supported by the Aging and Physical Performance, Exercise Vascular Biology, Metabolism and Body Composition, Athletic Training, and the Neruromusular Physiology Laboratories of the Exercise Physiology program. Collaboration with laboratories in pharmacology, biopsychology, foods and nutrition, and medical microbiology permit collaborative studies of psychopharmacologic, neuroendocrine and psychoimmunologic responses to exercise and behavioral stressors. A Fitness Center conducts Adult Fitness, Cardiac Rehabilitation, and Senior Adult programs for University faculty/staff and the Athens Community.
