Centers and Labs - Exercise Muscle Physiology Lab
The Exercise Muscle Physiology Laboratory (1400 square ft) is equipped to study skeletal muscle metabolism and oxygen delivery. Dr. McCully is the director of this laboratory. Research is focused on developing new non-invasive approaches to studying skeletal muscle metabolism, blood flow and oxygen utilization. The lab focusing on changes to muscle function after chronic illnesses and injuries: including spinal cord injury, ALS, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, peripheral vascular disease and heart failure. The lab is also focused on innovative methods of improving physical activity levels and exercising people with chronic illnesses and injuries.
