Kent State University President Todd Diacon encouraged the campus community to lean on the university's core values during times of stress and pressure, as many are feeling now with the ongoing unrest in Israel and Gaza. During his most recent Talking With Todd segment in which he speaks live from the President's Office and takes questions, Diacon encouraged kindness and respect at the personal level. In addition, Diacon emphasized that the university's tragic history with the events of May 4, 1970, provides lessons that can guide the university community through the divisiveness of wo...

Equipment
Equipment - Environmental Physiology Lab
The Environmental Physiology Lab has three unique pieces of equipment that allows us to study how environmental factors such as heat, cold and altitude influence physical performance and cognitive function. The equipment includes a hypoxic chamber that can simulate up to 14,000 feet of elevation, a cold water immersion tank, and an environmental chamber that can be set between 20 and 105 ºF.
Environmental Physiology Laboratory
Environmental Physiology Laboratory
Research in the Environmental Physiology Laboratory focuses on normobaric hypoxia and cold exposure, i.e., extreme environmental conditions and developing strategies that enhance our ability to treat, compete and better understand the human condition under these stressors, both physiologic and cognitive.
